MEMBERS ONLY: Penn State Sprint: Manufacturing as a Strategic Variable (July 11 – 15)

Sprint Description:

Supply chain can begin to seize opportunities borne of new capabilities and capacities in manufacturing—ranging from producing smaller batches and more varieties of products to meet needs of unique customer segments, shifting production capabilities to new locations to meet customer local demands faster, to improving transparency into information and planning to better synchronize supply with demand for improved customer service.

Notes:

This is a professional development opportunity available through our academic partner Penn State University. As a corporate partner of Penn State’s Supply Chain program, NASPO is allowed 2-3 seats to their Virtual Supply Chain Leadership Academy Sprints each month. The Sprints involve 30-45 minutes of independent learning on your own time Monday-Thursday and a one hour live discussion with the group and faculty member on Friday.

Penn State Sprints are a great opportunity to learn about important topics affecting supply chain and provide an opportunity to connect with other industry professionals. While reviewing learning materials daily, you will have an opportunity to express your thoughts and relate the information to public procurement in the class discussion board.

Participation in the PSU Sprints are complimentary to NASPO members. Since spots are limited for this sprint, please let us know immediately if you or your staff would like to register. In order to participate, you will be required to complete a post-evaluation survey. Please email [email protected] with the name and email of the staff member that you would like to participate.
