Optimizing the supply chain is on every manufacturer’s mind these days. One of the most overlooked areas in business, particularly when companies switch to e-procurement, is strategic sourcing.

Best practices in sourcing and procurement have advanced rapidly in recent years, with technology enabling advancements in the use of cooperative supplier management , sales, e-procurement, better costing and benchmarking but despite those firms are reporting moderate to extreme margin pressure due to a commodity up cycle. The volatility is likely to continue, as long as markets remain dominated by the high frequency traders and their computer games.
 
The trend at this very moment is that customers continue reducing inventories and partly postponing orders in hopes of falling prices in the final quarter of 2011, amid on-going market turbulences and worries over global economic prospects. But what brings the Year 2012 and the years that follow?
 
What is the future of chemical industry and evolution of the markets? Will the turbulences in the market effect global organizations beyond repair? Will the lack of raw materials due to high competition push firms to go beyond the stereotypes and bring the new opportunities or there is totally new era in front of us? Companies switch their focus from survival to long term strategy development. Join this event to examine to which extend there will be a need to reshape the global chemical industry in the next few years.
 
7th Annual Strategic Sourcing in Chemical/Petrochemical will examine the effect of the market ups and downs on the strategic sourcing focusing on the price hedging,  real sourcing “secrets”, methods, achievements in chemical industry.
