Defending Price™ for
Automotive Suppliers
Suppliers
to the automotive and commercial industry have enjoyed a period of
unprecedented pricing power. Supply-chain disruptions associated with
the COVID-19 pandemic have allowed some suppliers to raise prices by as
much as 100% in recent years.
However,
purchasing teams are actively working to roll back these increases -
demanding cost-downs and give-backs from their supply base, making this
a contentious negotiating environment for players at all levels of the
supply chain.
To help suppliers defend their pricing and value propositions, we are
making our popular training program, ”Defending
Price in the Automotive Industry” available in a virtual delivery
format.
Each workshop is broken into two convenient
online sessions over two consecutive days. Click below
to register for one of these upcoming 2024 industry events.
