3rd HMFI-IAM International Purchase Managers’ Summit

Purchasing +
Theme – Purchasing: The Last Gold Mine of Profits

11th & 12th December’14, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi

The time when Purchasing was an administrative chore, have long passed by.
Right Purchasing than defined buying materials of right quality, in right quantity, at right time & from the right source. This role definition is also now not enough in today’s competitive times. The globalisation-fueled competition over the last decade has led Purchasing to think beyond its transactional roots/ origins to strategic factors such as innovation, faster time to market, cost-competitive sourcing from low-cost-countries.
Now Purchasing has to become Purchasing +, from transactional to strategic.

Purchasing, in its strategic role has to connect itself to business. It has not only to add significant value. But also create competitive advantage for strategic survival and growth of any business. This new approach calls for new talent & new strategies in purchasing and new mind–sets in top management about the role of Purchasing.

The Summit will focus on these issues and the enhanced significance of the role of Purchasing+ in today’s supply chain era – when companies don’t compete, their supply chain do!!
