OPEX – The Operations Club completed its second episode of OPTALK Series 2019 with esteemed guest Dr. Aditya Verma, Vice President-Procurement, Emami Ltd as a guest speaker for the session on “What Matters To Drive Excellence In Procurement World.”
Dr. Verma started the session with the success mantras to sustain in this competitive world and what are the essential attributes of a manager. He talked on how often in the past suppliers were selected primarily on the cost basis and how that proved costly. He also touched upon how the supply chain and operations have evolved from the 1980s to 2019. He discussed the risks that the procurement professionals face and how these risks are directly involved with losing revenue and customers. He provided some insights on how supplier formation, supplier qualification, and procurement performance governance help in selecting correct suppliers. He also introduced the students with his book ‘Supplier Matters’ which highlights the fundamental principles concerning an organisation’s supplier selection process and how the right selection criteria are the key pillars of procurement decisions.
Team OPEX sincerely thanks Dr. Verma for his valuable time and enlightening talk.
