ArlaFoods TD

October 22, 2021 by sououtl16

Join any of the Theme Discussions moderated by Morten. Consider you have done a great jon implementing systems, shaping processes, ensuring a certain level of policy compliance. You realize the gold that lies in feeding data back and forth between the business and procurement.

MISSION STATEMENT

Here you will leverage each other experiences increasing transparency in the source to pay cycle. Discussing how far you can push process compliance and how to get the best, high quality data and transparency fed back to procurement.

How do we get the business to feed back quality data to the procurement organization?

Arla Foods have made a procurement transition to a set up with an end to end source to pay system, processes and PO compliance structure. This discussion will focus on the next steps. When category managers have centralized contract management, POs are being used at a good level and  spend data is under acceptable control. Let’s discuss ways of helping the business become even more compliant. How to ensure data quality in the S2P environment. Better use of data beyond spend data and a higher level of transparency helping procurement develop the business further together with suppliers.

Discuss;

  • How do you take compliance in the downstream P2P process to the next level (beyond PO toward feeding back quality data through orders)?
  • What are your experiences in using your system set up to leverage transparency in the S2P process and quality data back to category managers?
  • How do you ensure you get the right data for your category managers?

Join either of the two Theme Discussions hosted by Magdalena and Rasmus at Danish Crown. This session is for you being interested in using eAuctions to help develop strategic procurement and negotiations!

Benchmark: Adopting e-auctions as a strategic procurement game changer!

As procurement organizations grow and develop throughout their maturity journey the need for strengthening the toolbox surrounding sourcing and negotiations increases. At Danish Crown, we have just embarked on a journey to strengthen our strategic toolbox by investing in our capabilities to drive negotiations through e-auctions. We truly believe that e-auctions will be a strong lever to secure future value creation and we are certain that we are not alone with this perspective. Therefore, we would like to invite you in for a benchmark session where we can share perspectives on e-auctions as a negotiation concept and tool, experiences or considerations on similar journeys, and how to successfully adopt e-auctions as a game changer for the procurement deliverables!

Rasmus and Magdalena

This session is for you who are also on journey to develop your sourcing and tender processes through eAuctions. You who are also looking to build a best-in-class toolbox and avoid making common mistakes.

Discuss:

  • Pulse check: What is your experiences or viewpoint on e-auctions?
  • What does it take to make it a successful journey to adopt e-auctions into the sourcing process?
  • How to approach category complexity when using e-auctions?
  • Based on your experiences and reflections, what is the Do’s and Don’t’s when adopting the use of e-auctions?

So you listened to what they had to say and now you have a ton of questions. Lucky you that you can choose to join the Theme Discussion hosted by Sophie and Fredrik to have a discussion!

Panel Follow Up | Reflections & Shared Insights

This session is a follow up from the pre-lunch panel focusing on different perspectives on sustainability and responsible sourcing development in different industries.
Discuss and compare actions taken. Increasing efficiency and effect within procurement from a sustainability perspective is not a one person, one function nor one industry task.

Follow up on;

  • Where does responsible sourcing fit into your overall procurement strategy?
  • What industry collaborations are you involved in or would like to be involved in?
  • What are the main challenges connecting your sustainability strategies with procurement strategies and operations?
  • In what ways can procurement collaborate to ensure buyer-supplier collaboration and that clauses become a reality?

We talk so much about it but what does it actually mean to a procurement organization? This session is a benchmark session where you draw from each others experiences!

How are you preparing for Scope 3 in your corporate sustainability transformation?

Winning the marathon to save the planet is not a one company nor one function job. Collaborating across organizations and industries will be a must. Where are you on your journey and what actions are you taking?
Scope 1 is direct emissions. Scope 2 is emissions associated with a company’s purchased energy such as electricity. Scope 3 is everything else, such as building materials, food, travel, even waste. It’s the emissions associated with all the goods and services that companies buy. ”For most organizations, including government agencies and universities, the Scope 3 footprint is much larger than the operational footprint.” (Anastasia O’Rourke)

We see companies setting “net-zero” or science-based targets to reduce their emissions around the world and during this session you will come together to discuss what this, other targets and Scope 3 mean and will mean to procurement organizations. Emissions might be further down in the supply chain where you don’t have direct contact with the supplier. How do you gain control and how do you prioritize?

Discuss;

  • Where are you on your sustainability journey – are you at Scope 3 yet?
  • How do you prioritize efforts across your purchase volume and category spread?
  • Are you using input-output lifecycle assessments and average emissions by sector or make calculation with real data from suppliers or providers — or both?
  • What have your climate and CSR strategies meant to procurement to date?
  • How are you coming together and collaborating with other large buyers?

Few if any have NOT been affected by extreme VUCA scenarios. Markets and supplies are volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. How does this affect you working within procurement? During this session you can come together to draw from each others experiences! Open, informal and with the aim to share what can be shared.

As soon as you register you can start choosing what sessions to join – limited seats.

MISSION STATEMENT

Come together to share ideas and concrete examples of how procurement can tackle market challenges that go beyond what you are used to.

How can procurement manage price pressures, supply shortages and logistics challenges?

Procurement have always had too much to do, ad hoc challenges on a daily basis and corporate strategies placing high demands especially on procurement is norm. However – the price fluctuations, material shortages and logistics challenges seen the past year go beyond what most have experienced to date. When will we know if this is a new normal and must not procurement prepare for if it is? Organizations have worked so hard to globalize, secure processes, risk mitigated, ensured supplier audits and a total reduction of suppliers. How do you as a procurement professional tackle fluctuations and rapid shifts now – and ahead? Here you will come together to discuss just that. Beyond competition you will share ideas and practical advice in the group across industries.

We will discuss;

  • How have you been affected by material shortages, logistics problems and price pressure?
  • How are you working with suppliers to get ahead of supply challenges?
  • What measures do you take to ensure quick supply alternatives?
  • In what ways do you create structure and processes for alternative suppliers?
