15:30 Interactive Session: Leveraging The Supplier Performance Process To Take Supplier Relationships To The Next Level

Kellogg has a novel take on reviewing and auditing supplier performance that produces viable information to make informed decisions. In fact, their process has actually changed how suppliers interact with the company. Cathy Kutch will lead this interactive session along with one of her buyers and one of her suppliers to take you through Kellogg’s evaluation process and the results achieved. Then you’ll break into groups for a mock evaluation exercise.

  • What are the best methods to audit your suppliers?
  • At what point do you determine your suppliers need to be audited—is there a regular schedule or review process?
  • Techniques to work with underperforming suppliers to bring them back up
  • KPIs, metrics and scorecards to develop an effective supplier ratings system
  • Benefits and drawbacks of certified supplier processes
