Penton's TOTALsupplychain.com & Aberdeen Group partner to debut a web conference series June 18-19, 2003

Total Cost Management:
Controlling Costs and Performance Across the Supply Chain
Internet based sourcing, procurement, and SCM technologies have delivered considerable cost and performance benefits. Deployment of these technologies has often been disconnected from larger SCM initiatives, which results in a fragmented approach allowing "leakage" of procurement savings. This new on-line conference is designed to provide the audience with a look at the end-to-end performance elements that make supply chains more competitive.

The Conference will focus on key areas of Supply Chain Cost Management that challenge all manufacturing executives today such as Global Sourcing, Contract Management, Services Procurement, and Collaborative Planning.
