Help me learn about strategic sourcing / procurement in your industry
1 point by dragostudor on May 2, 2021 | hide | past | favorite
Hi everyone, I've been leading multiple projects related to implementing AI/ML/DL/advanced analytics for automating manufacturing processes (most recently - pharma, for COVID vaccine production), and while at it, I've developed a strong interest in supply chains, manufacturing, sourcing and procurement.

I'd love to find out more about the fundamentals, challenges and the lessons that you've learned while sourcing materials / equipment / goods or others, in your industry and geography

I would be more than happy to support you with answering any digital / AI / Factory 4.0 questions that you might have or to help you draft your digital strategy in return.

Update 1: Not selling any services or products, or attempting to find clients. My advice and help, if needed, is offered for free as a token of gratitude.

Update 2: My ultimate goal is to evaluate whether there are some interesting challenges that can be solved via software, in sourcing / procurement. But I fundamentally want to accelerate my understanding of the industry.

Update 3: My ask - I'm hoping for us to have a discussion over a virtual coffee or call and for you to walk me through your sourcing approach, procurement software, challenges, particularities of your industry, COVID impact and the future of the industry. Everything at a high level. Not looking for sensitive information.
