Spend Matters and MetalMiner Release Joint White Paper on Supply Risk Management and Supplier Performance Management

Manufacturers, more then ever face the very real challenge of keeping their firms’ names out of the headlines when it comes to product recall issues, quality challenges, tainted / counterfeit parts and ingredients, use of “conflict minerals,” labor strikes and demands and perhaps the form of supply risk that gets the most attention, supplier financial failures. In this new research report entitled: Supply Risk Management and Supplier Performance Management – Managing Your Supply Base in Real Time, Spend Matters and MetalMiner along with research sponsor Ivalua offer solutions and insight as to how companies can identify, analyze, and mitigate supplier risk at all levels of their supply chains.

Featuring a case study of steel producer, ArcelorMittal, the paper offers practical advice from identifying components companies should look for in a supplier performance management automation solution to setting criteria for new supplier on-boarding and approved supplier lists along with a capability maturity model for readers to identify where their own company’s capabilities lie.

The paper, written by Spend Matters and MetalMiner and sponsored by Ivalua one of Europe’s leading software vendors in Spend Management Solutions, currently emerging in North America, can be downloaded for free by registering as follows:

This article is helpful for companies, thank you.

But I have a question: when US companies made China as their production hub, were these kinds of management considered? Any discussion on the political side?
