Alignment of Supplier Assessment & Qualification to Optimize the Mix of Suppliers, Reducing Risk, Balancing Global Procurement Against Near Sourcing Opportunities to Meet the Impact of External Forces on Strategic Component Sourcing

Executives responsible for strategic sourcing and direct procurement within the medical device industry face a wide range of challenges in order to achieve an optimized supplier mix which reduces risks, ensures the highest possible level of component quality and at the same time drives a tight margin to support corporate growth and profitability. Movement within the market, from supplier consolidation and acquisition activity impacting OEMs to considerable uncertainty regarding tariffs with both China as well as within the NAFTA framework, to unpredictable natural occurrences causing disruption must all be considered, risks identified and mitigated. As the breadth of components being sourced continues to widen, and medical devices incorporate advanced software and highly sensitive biologic mechanisms, and at the same time consider sustainability of products and materials, the role of sourcing executives has become increasingly strategic.

Throughout the 5th Annual Medical Device Strategic Sourcing Conference, participants will have an opportunity to hear from leading manufacturers on best practices and deep-dive case studies which highlight the lessons learned from decades of sourcing in a continually evolving marketplace. Small-group discussions will also play a critical role within the program, providing participants with an opportunity to engage with participants and learn from peers in a structured, dialogue-based format which seamlessly blends education with professional networking.

VantagePoint Performance trains Salespeople to be more fluent and comfortable across different situations needing different sales approaches, and we train Sales Managers to be better coaches and team leaders, with more focus and less stress.

We’re different from the average sales training company because:

We don’t believe that one approach, one system, or one methodology is absolutely superior. All have something to offer, and the “best approach” or “best system” depends on the sales situation. This is what our applied, academic research tells us.
Our use of data science, specifically Machine Learning, helps us learn about our clients more meaningfully. We provide insights from each client’s data to help them understand what drives the success of their top-performing Salespeople and Sales Managers.
We are constantly feeding what we learn back into our training products, and we invest a bigger slice of our total energy into this innovation than the average sales training company. Our clients can access always-refreshed intellectual property and content through our training subscriptions.
