ISM-Rochester Lunch & Learn Webinar: Dealing with Shortages & Disruptions

Supply chain professionals know shortages and other disruptions are challenges they will deal with. They come in many forms, and many sizes, but are always lurking and can happen at any moment, for a myriad of reasons. The challenge is not if they will happen, but when and in what magnitude, and the real skill is in preparing for them and managing through them. In this talk you will learn:

• Common types of disruptions

• Factors that contribute to impacts from disruptions

• Impacts and ways to measure / assess

• Actions to take – prevention, short-term and longer-term management

Classification and COATs: Best Practices for Squeaky Clean Spend Data

We all think we know what bad data looks like, but what is it and what are the consequences?

I bet you never knew you needed a COAT for your data, but it will help protect you against all the dirty data that's around. Susan will share real-life examples of dirty data, and the consequences it has on the output, such as decision making, reporting, analytics, AI, and machine learning. She'll also share with you her COAT methodology to help prevent this, as well as learn how to make quick, accurate checks and changes to your own data in excel, regardless of your level of experience, and explain why data accuracy and maintenance is so important and implement best practices for this.

Takeaways:

  • The importance of data accuracy
  • The consequences of dirty data
  • How to ensure data accuracy
  • Make sure your data has its COAT on
  • How to spot check your data
