Supply chain management: relationships, risks and rewards
Successful management of supply chain relationships and risks is critical to success, and indeed survival, especially in difficult business conditions. but there isn't a one size fits all supply chain solution. Strategies and tactics vary from company to company, and even within companies, depending on the product.
Participants in September’s infocast can benefit from the diverse experience of the presenters: two leading financial executives whose expertise in this area comes from the front line of day-to-day supply chain responsibility.
Paul Massey ACMA, is the finance leader for Cummins Turbo Technologies. He has over 20 years' financial and operations experience in a variety of industries and has held a variety of financial roles such as group financial controller. Massey has also had roles such as materials manager, purchasing leader, plant manager and director of worldwide manufacturing.
Ed O’Donnell CPA, is vice president, business analysis for Teknor Apex Company.
