SUPPLY CHAIN
Improving on an executive level As another means to improving business practices , Glanbia is active with the Corporate Executive Board ( CEB ) organization in order to develop the leadership tools needed to grow leaner and keep improving .
“ We are delighted with our membership of the CEB . They provide great training resources thst we have utilized this year across Glanbia ,” said Weisel . As the category managers participate in different training courses , they apply what they ’ ve learned at a practical level for the benefit of the company .
“ Our headquarters-led initiative used a “ Voice of the Supplier ” survey with our top 30 SAP vendors to really understand how they viewed Glanbia , which helped shape our vendor engagement and improvement plans . They also provided training and access to global best practices to apply to our businesses ,” Weisel said .
“ We ’ re looking at internal relationship management , and how procurement internally sells the value and benefit we can add to the business . Through our supplier relationship management , we continue to build strong relationships with suppliers , which leads to strategic category management and more innovation opportunities ,” said Weisel . “ These are just some of the areas we ’ re focusing on with the CEB to help Glanbia fulfill its ambition to be a global nutrition company and set truly world class practice .”
