The European Chamber is organizing the second edition of the “Profitable Sourcing” series of conferences. The previous session, in February, was quite a success. It attracted close to 70 participants and was extremely interesting.

I hope to see you on Nov. 11 (afternoon only) in Guangzhou.

Who will the speakers be?

• The head of Manufacturing Excellence for Footwear at Adidas
• The president of the FAW-Volkswagen Foshan branch
• A supply chain executive from Bureau Veritas (to discuss the role of factory audits and similar services)
• David Collins, one of my parters at China Manufacturing Consultants, will go over two case studies and will explain how his team turned two factories around — with plenty of details about the challenges encountered, the tools used, and the results obtained.
• And myself, mostly to conclude the conference.

We might add one more speaker — the details are not 100% confirmed yet.

The overal topic this time is how to manage suppliers to reduce risks and attain superior performance.
