1. Have you considered e-sourcing via reverse auction?

Is your management continuously searching for ways and means to improve efficiency using technology? Are you too familiar with the two common roadblocks that often accompany new technology: namely, time and cost of implementation?

Properly managed reverse auction to the rescue: ALC has partnered with Buyweb to offer web-enabled eSourcing on Demand. Purchasing managers can apply eRFI, eRFP, eRFQ, and reverse eAuction technologies to reduce time and cost, and improve strategic sourcing performance. Access more information or register for an e-Auction Simulation Webinar.


2. Would your supply chain appreciate a Leaner, more innovative you?

Here's one opportunity:
If your responsibility involves innovating the supply chain, and you are a senior executive in a manufacturing company, I might have a complimentary pass to a stellar executive roundtable sponsored by CATA, Sheridan College, and the Richard Ivey School of Business, among others. Email me RIGHT AWAY for your invitation, providing name, position, company, and location. This prestigious event is on February 15, and seats are filling up very quickly.

Here’s a second opportunity:
Lean Supply Chain Management Certification

ALC, through a partnership with Leading Edge, now offers you the International Lean Supply Chain Management Certification program. These training courses have been developed in conjunction with International Universities, Lean Practitioners, and International Professional Institutes in Engineering and Supply Chain Management, and provide a new standard for Lean Supply Chain Management Courses and Certification. This accredited educational program can ultimately lead to a degree in Quality Management. Courses are delivered via distance education and on-line learning modules so individual students anywhere in the world can participate.

Here’s a third opportunity:
Find and order 5 star books like Supply Chain Excellence: A Handbook for Dramatic Improvement Using the SCOR Model by Peter Bolstorff, Robert Rosenbaum, Essentials of Supply Chain Management by Michael Hugos, Balanced Sourcing: Cooperation and Competition in Supplier Relationships by Timothy M. Laseter as well as Managing the Supply Chain in DVD format from AME. All in the ALC Bookstore.


3. Do you get accolades for best ESD practices in the field and in the plant?

ESD: Field Service is the FIFTH targeted on-line course designed to bring you those accolades. Choose LAN or WEB. Match the appropriate training to the job description. Watch for #6 later in 2006. Talk to us about your requirements for alternate languages. Or just order now.


4. Wave hello to another on-line lead-free training course.

Yes, Lead-Free Wave is now shipping in both LAN and WEB versions. The current suite includes Lead-Free Orientation and Lead-Free Rework. Lead-Free SMT is in development. Order now.


5. Do you care about Lean Health Care?

Of course, we all care where it affects us, but if you also work in this industry, you will be delighted with new learning options. In partnership with Leading Edge, ALC now offers an International Certification in Lean Healthcare.
