Day One: Evolving Your Supply Chain In The Changing Healthcare Environment

Thursday, February 4th, 2016

15:20 Planning for Success When Offshoring Your Manufacturing

While there has been a push towards onshoring as of late, in many instances offshoring is still necessary and your best choice... if handled correctly. Taking upon his 17 years of experience in the life sciences and medical devices industries, Scott will share the best practices he's come to follow, and how they've refined over the years.
• Protecting intellectual property and sensitive business intelligence without hindering manufacturing
• Negotiating business payment terms up front and sensitivities to consider with companies headquartered in Asia
• Crafting supply agreements that meet your needs as well as the needs of the manufacturing supply chain partner
