Pandemic disruptions, shifting consumer demands, and sustainability efforts have seeped through the world of supply chain this year.

Shipment delays are prevalent as companies restock goods to meet surging customer needs. The shortage of sea containers further complicated the situation. In March, only 40% of container ships had arrived at ports on time. Fluctuations in the global supply chain are behind the mounting transportation and materials costs.

As they navigate the new normal, supply chain professionals should not neglect their buyer-supplier relationship as well as their suppliers’ performance. Supply chain professionals are responsible for all the facets of the business, including purchasing, quality management, procurement, traffic analysis, and supplier relationship management.

They are expected to come up with solutions as they respond to supply chain management trends. Some of the major trends are automation, agility, omnichannel usage, and compliance in sustainability initiatives.

To ensure a smooth, efficient procurement activity amidst such changes, organizations must pay attention to the supplier relationship dynamic.

The KPI Institute is holding the Certified Supplier Performance Professional Live Online training course for individuals who want to implement a framework for the KPI development and monitoring of their company’s supplier management process.
