View this broadcast

A clear gap in effectiveness and cost is emerging between those companies that achieve rigorous management of corporate spending, using the latest best practice and technology tools, and those that lack the crucial spend data and best practice knowledge they need to make meaningful, sustained improvements. Effective "Spend Management" is emerging as one of the most important factors in supply chain and overall corporate success.  

Johnson & Johnson, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, achieved great spend management savings and benefits with visionary leadership and unparallel execution. 

In this informative Supply Chain Videocast presentation from Supply Chain Digest™ and The Supply Chain Television Channel™, we will review the origin of the team's objectives, challenges, and how they have created a creative plan to address them.  We'll highlight efforts around how they utilize spend visibility to support detail spend data analysis, strategic sourcing activities across the globe, centralized eProcurement processes across all the autonomous business units, electronic invoicing through the shared services, and innovative supplier management capabilities

In this informative presentation from Supply Chain Digest™ and The Supply Chain Television Channel™, we'll explore recent trends that are showing that “near shore” suppliers are becoming net beneficiaries of Low Cost County Sourcing initiatives when companies calculate total acquisition cost early in the sourcing process. This is leading to an increased focus on sourcing from Mexico and Eastern Europe, rather than just Asia.
