Modeling Total Costs for Global Sourcing Programs

Oil prices, volatile commodity markets and an ever looming economic slowdown are forcing sourcing managers to evaluate lower cost options and global suppliers. Total Cost Build Up or Input Cost models along with Total Landed Cost Models are the keys to developing alternative sourcing strategies. So too is getting supply market information that is accurate, validated and relevant.

In this informative webinar, Lisa Reisman, Editor of Metal Miner and Cofounder of Aptium Global and Anurag Dixit, VP of Marketing with Zycus will discuss 
best practices in—

• Identifying global sourcing opportunities
• Internal models/processes for global sourcing initiatives
• Aggregating information elements that make up total cost
• Build-up and total landed cost models
• Validating and analyzing information to create accurate supply market intelligence
• Global sourcing program success measures

This Purchasing magazine WEBCAST will feature LIVE Q&A with the presenters and panelists, so invite your colleagues and come prepared with questions!
