## Webinar: What Procurement Should Change to Be Chosen by Suppliers Amidst Increasing Uncertainty
### The uncertainty of the procurement environment is increasing, making traditional methods less effective.
In recent years, in addition to material shortages, logistics disruptions, and labor shortages, global supply and demand fluctuations and rising geopolitical risks have made price hikes and long lead times a norm in procurement. As a result, many manufacturing companies find it difficult to "procure the required quantity at the right time and at a fair price."
To achieve stable procurement under these circumstances, it is necessary to move away from conventional ad-hoc responses and build a procurement system that is resilient to change through strengthening relationships with suppliers and standardizing/advancing procurement operations.
### An era where success or failure depends on whether you are chosen by suppliers.
In this context, where over-demand and supply constraints continue, orderers who are difficult to deal with due to opaque processes are being sidelined. In the worst-case scenario, the risk of being "deselected" by suppliers is becoming apparent.
We are no longer in an era where the ordering side always holds the upper hand; instead, suppliers are increasingly choosing their business partners, and the power balance between the two is shifting significantly.
Therefore, it is becoming difficult to achieve stable procurement using only the traditional price-focused methods centered on competitive bidding, or operations that place a heavy burden on suppliers, such as short-term orders, frequent deadline changes, and urgent requests.
### What should procurement do in an era when you can't buy what you want?
This seminar will organize the ideal state of procurement departments from the perspective of "how to rebuild partnerships with suppliers" and systematically explain specific ideas for achieving stable procurement.
Using elements such as payment transparency, accurate ordering, rapid information transfer, and predictability of plans as starting points, we will unravel how to review procurement operations to become an "easy-to-deal-with enterprise" for suppliers.
### Recommended for:
- Those who want to review procurement strategies amidst ongoing logistics, material, and labor shortages.
- Those who want to review responses to price hikes and long lead times.
- Those who want to standardize person-dependent procurement operations.
- Those who want to strengthen relationships with suppliers and aim to be a chosen company.
