This presentation is centered on the savings that can be achieved by showing processes that can get companies out of the MRO…Indirect Materials storeroom business. By having your supplier on site, you are able to concentrate on your core business while achieving increased control and increased service to using areas.

What will I
learn…
Indirect materials (MRO) constitute the highest percentage
level of cost recovery available to industry. You will
learn how to recognize the opportunity, how to set goals and
how to achieve those goals. How is this relevant… American companies must look to all areas of cost recovery in order to be competitive. Indirect material storeroom costs are generally considered a necessary evil with little opportunity for improvement. The opportunity to recover costs in this area can make significant contributions to your corporate bottom line.
What will I take away… After you leave the meeting you will have a clear picture as to the opportunity that exists, the process to realize the opportunity, and how to measure results.
Who should attend / Who should I bring… Success of any indirect materials program hinges on cooperation and agreement from all disciplines; you should bring supply chain, production control, inventory control & stockroom, finance, plant and process engineers as well as the plant manager to view the presentation.
Ken is the past President of the ISM Philadelphia Chapter and past President of the APICS Chapter of Birmingham AL. He has written many articles on the supply chain and has spoken to various organizations over the years about changes in purchasing and material management. Ken has worked as an adjunct professor at University of Alabama, Western Michigan, University Syracuse, and Delaware College teaching business courses in Purchasing & Materials Management.
George has presented seminars on MRO distribution cost recovery at Duke University, M.I.T., The Conference Board, as well as in Oslo, Norway, Abudabi, Mexico, Canada, and across America. He is recognized as the authority on innovative methods that define and eliminate duplications in the traditional supply chain for non-capital expense materials.

Salespeople
know that understanding their customers is the key to their success… and

We are all in the business of selling whether it is to our boss, our peers, our spouse or anyone we converse with...
and OUR compensation is also linked to our effectiveness.
This workshop will provide insight into how you are influenced in the buying process in your role as purchasing agents. You will be able to use the understanding you gain in every communication you have both professionally and personally. Understanding how our personal priorities influence both selling and buying behaviors and learning how to flex between the different styles will help you reach others more effectively – a valuable skill on the job, selling an idea and every conversation in between!
