Synopsis of the Masterclass

It is widely acknowledged that a global sourcing strategy can help organisations to reduce costs and increase the adaptability and agility of supply chains. However, these strategies need to be designed around thorough, fact-based planning and decision-making, and need to be executed in a disciplined manner. In this Masterclass, Sinéad will examine current strategies and challenges of global sourcing. She will provide an overview of the strategic sourcing process, looking specifically at portfolio analysis, supply tactics and sourcing configurations.
