Pre-Conference SeminarsWednesday, October 24, 2012

Participants who successfully complete a pre-conference seminar will receive the designated CEHs. They may be applied toward ISM recertification and/or reaccreditation program requirements.

Session A Certified Professional in Supply Management®/Certified in Supply Management™ : CPSM®/CSM™ Review Speaker: Patrick (Pat) Woods, CPSM, CPSD, C.P.M.

This will be a fast-paced program and should be the culmination of your study of the mod-ules, with a focus on knowing the key exam alerts and most importantly, the strategies that have been successfully employed by supply management professionals throughout the world in PASSING the exams.

What You Will LearnTo help members as well as non-members attain the coveted CPSM® or CSM™ designation, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) divides the subject material into three modules that are covered in our CPSM® or CSM™ Review course:

Module 1: Foundation of Supply ManagementModule 2: Effective Supply Management Performance

Session B Contracts and Legal Aspects Review: A Practicum Speaker: Kenneth (Ken) D. Martin, JD, CPP, CIPN

What You Will LearnContracts & Legal Aspects Review is indeed a “practicum” which can help you scrutinize those contracts that come to you from other sources. Through lecture and discussion, you will learn, for example, that virtually all “rules” can be varied by agreement—you can have any contract you can negotiate—since the “law” does not tell you what the contract must say.

You will also see how problems arise because the buyer and seller themselves have not said what the contract should be (or put in enough detail).

Furthermore, you will understand that contracts include not only what you write, but what you do: contracts simply go beyond the mere words on the paper—they may depend on factors involving how the parties have dealt with one another in the past, such as “course of performance,” “usage

What are the CPSM® and CSM™?

The Certified Professional in Supply Management® (CPSM®) or Certified in Supply Management™ (CSM™) are the qualifications that supply management professionals now strive to earn. The CPSM® and CSM™ are recognized globally and define you as a supply management professional anywhere in the world. These qualifications will enable professionals to gain a clear understanding of their organization’s supply operation and enable managers to take an active role in critical decisions. Each step in the development of an organization’s prod-ucts and/or services is controlled by supply management. Current evolution of the profession dictates that a strategic level qualification is needed for professionals to implement innovative supply strategies effectively throughout their entire organization.

Why certification in Supply Management?

Purchasing responsibilities in the 21st century are changing. Certification can give your organization the competitive edge it needs to succeed. Certification also establishes the standards by which the educational and experience levels of people in purchasing and supply management can be measured. These standards represent levels of formal education, knowledge, experience, and contributions to the field that may be expected of the purchasing professional. Those who apply and meet the requirements are designated Certified Profes-sional in Supply Management® (CPSM®) or Certified in Supply Management™ (CSM™).

Attainment of certification indicates that the person:• Has spent time and effort in preparing to render a professional level of service to his or her employer.• Is willing and able to stay abreast of new developments in purchasing and supply management.• Is able to relate purchasing and supply management activities to overall organizational goals effectively.

Module 3: Leadership in Supply Management

The topics covered in these modules reflect the multi-dimensional expertise demanded of a CPSM® or CSM™ candi-date, who needs to exhibit a macro per-spective on:• Strategic sourcing• Cultural awareness• Risk and compliance issues• Organizational issues• Global strategy• Logistics• Social responsibilities

Knowledge concerning such areas as finance and the benchmarking of global suppliers is also covered in the modules and their corresponding exams. The integrated skill set required to reach this professional designation in areas like commodity management, supplier diver-sity, and supplier relationship manage-ment will drive value into every link of the supply chain for your organization.

Why You Should AttendClearly, the newest, most coveted cer-tification offered in the field of supply management is the CPSM®, Certified Professional in Supply Management®. To achieve this prestigious certification, professionals must not only meet the

preliminary requirements established by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), but they must also pass challenging examinations in three modules, repre-senting three major topic areas.

Each of the three CPSM®/CSM™ Review modules is a “practicum” which will not only provide you with invaluable resource material for your exam preparation but can give you the secrets and strategies for taking the multiple choice exam itself.

In a dynamic seminar environment, you will experience insightful lecture by an expert CPSM® and CSM™ presenter, participate in informative discussion with other profes-sionals who are seeking certification, and have many additional opportunities to practice by going over sample test ques-tions, taking mock exams, and getting feedback on your answers. Your participa-tion in this dynamic seminar will lead you to a deeper understanding of the exam questions themselves—and the supply management principles they reflect.

Regardless of which study methods you select, you should understand that your chance of passing these challenging exams increases exponentially with every additional study resource you employ. This CPSM®/CSM™ Review is designed to give you every advantage available for completing the exams successfully.

In short, the CPSM®/CSM™ Review will refresh your professional experience, increase your confidence, reduce your test anxiety, and help you apply your new-found knowledge effectively when taking the certification exams.

Who Should AttendExperienced purchasing, procurement, contracting, and supply management pro-fessionals who are preparing to take the CPSM® or CSM™ exams and who aspire to achieve the internationally accepted major standard of competence and knowledge in the supply management field will benefit from attending. Candi-dates should refer to the list of require-ments for CPSM® or CSM™ certification to assess their eligibility prior to enrolling.

The CPSM® or CSM™ will be a milestone for those professionals who take owner-ship of their careers. Surveys indicate those with professional designations report higher annual compensation than those without certification. Pursuing your CPSM® qualification is your chance to leverage your knowledge and experience into career advancement. ✪

• Are you concerned whether the UCC or General Contract Law applies to the contract and protects you?• Do you have trouble understanding some of the terminology you encounter on some procurement contracts?• Do you grow suspicious when a seller insists that certain clauses be included in your contract?• Does the term “fine print” send you into a mild state of panic?

If you are thinking about questions like these, chances are you are not alone. All too often, buyers and procurement specialists rely on a lot of luck and wishful thinking to carry them through the maneuvering of writing a contract. For some, it is difficult knowing just where to begin. For others, the challenge lies in making sure their contracts are legally comprehensive, accurate, and effective.

Why You Should AttendPurchasing, procurement, and supply management executives are under intense pressure to keep transportation costs down in the face of rate increases and fuel surcharges, while keeping inventory ser-vice levels up in the face of transportation capacity constraints. Inbound freight move-ment is now being examined more closely, as proactive C-level leaders are looking for ways to minimize their logistics costs and resources while, at the same time, maxi-mizing the efficiency of inbound freight.

Taking control of inbound transporta-tion can positively affect the bottom line, providing critical visibility into inventory and leadtime reduction while ultimately affecting customer service. Digging for hidden savings within inbound shipments can unearth some valuable treasures.

It can be easy to overlook the rising cost of inbound shipments, since functions other than logistics and traffic manage-ment—primarily procurement and sup-pliers—often affect or even make those

decisions. As a result, unnecessary hidden costs can creep into inbound shipments.

This seminar is designed to take an informed look at transportation and logis-tics, both in terms of today’s supply chain and the inbound logistics management process, so you can know how to make the most of this powerful tool. You have prob-ably heard something about these topics. You may even be vaguely familiar with them. But how much do you really know?

We will concentrate on the issues which are important to the purchasing, sourcing, acquisition or contracting group and will use examples pertinent to the industries represented in each seminar. We will explore logistics and transportation options appropriate for today’s global supply chain and how to save money on inbound freight. Inbound Transportation & Logistics will address these critical management con-cerns and will provide practical techniques to enhance your function’s contribution to your organization’s bottom line.

More on Why You Should AttendFrom our experience, we know that one of the most common profit leaks is in the area of inbound freight. For this reason, more and more savvy companies are turning their attention to their inbound supply chain to find those typically overlooked areas which can yield significant cost reductions. One dollar of savings here is one dollar added to your organization’s bottom line.

When you realize that, in many cases, your suppliers are using freight as a profit center,

are pocketing negotiated carrier discounts, and don’t share those discounted carrier rates, you will want to learn more about making those benefits your own. When you realize that freight terms can have a signifi-cant impact on your transportation costs, or that shipping schedules or modal choices can be impractical or inconsistent, both you and your senior management will see that there is untapped cash to be gained from your inbound transportation and logistics function.

This informative seminar, Inbound Trans-portation & Logistics, will reveal the best places to dig for this potential treasure and will show you how to polish your skills to maximize the payoff.

Here, for example, are some of the ques-tions that will be addressed:• Who controls the inbound routing of

shipments and why?• What is your true inbound freight cost

as it relates to total purchase spend? Are your freight costs shown as a sepa-rate line item or unbundled from the product or material price?

• What modes of transportation and car-riers are used and why?

• Have any of the following options been explored: LTL/TL or LCL/CL con-solidation to maximize mode shifting; pooling/hub based routing; weight breaks and freight conversion; multi-stop truckloads; multi-leg/multi-mode optimization; port options; etc.?

• Do you know whether or not your sup-pliers or vendors are passing extra transportation costs and fuel surcharges on to you—and are they negotiable?

• Do you hold more inventory than you need because of erratic delivery schedules or transportation based item pricing? What are your costs of holding extra inventory?

• What part of your order cycle time is transit lead time?

• Have you determined the potential of freight conversion for the relative pricing leverage between you and your suppliers? If deciding to change,

Are you having trouble managing your inbound freight and supply chain costs and crystallizing your strategies within your organization?• Do you need help formulating routing guides, contracts, and import documentation?• Are you making the most of Total Landed Cost, Intermodalism, and INCOTERMS® concepts?• How do freight classification concepts, modal transportation factors, and freight bills/claims affect the inbound transportation and

logistics function overall?• What are you doing to improve vital communications among carriers?

is a diamond in the rough.


have you assessed the impact on your buying or sourcing strategy?

• Have you catalogued the full range of origination points and determined the feasibility of controlling freight from those suppliers?

• Are you prepared for the C-TPAT and CSI initiatives and importation docu-mentation?

• Have you properly determined your true total landed or delivered cost?

• What would be the effects and costs of having a reliable and consistent order cycle time for inbound receipts? How does this compare to your present situation?

Any organization that has not previously devoted the time or attention needed to control its inbound costs will benefit from this seminar. We know that, given the right information and tools, such organizations can reduce their inbound transportation costs by at least 10%! Your expert instructors are qualified to illus-trate how you can make some of these savings a reality for your organization. Plan to attend Inbound Transportation & Logistics.

Gaining the skills offered in Inbound Transportation & Logistics can make a dif-ference in the way you plan and execute the inbound freight function within your organization.

Who Should AttendInbound Transportation & Logistics is designed to give purchasing, procure-ment, acquisition, contracting, supply management, transportation, logistics, or sourcing personnel, agents, supervisors, managers, directors, and vice-presidents a one-day, concentrated course in effective inbound freight and supply management. It is designed for those who make inbound transportation decisions and execute logistics strategies within the purchasing or supply management function. ✪
