Workshop 1:
Low-Cost Country Sourcing 101

If you are still in the process of drawing up your sourcing strategies, this Workshop is a must. Come and find out how to progress LCCS from an interesting idea into a solid plan of action. We’ll take you step by step through the sourcing process and help you make key decisions about what to source, where to source it from, and how to get from the drawing board to the supply chain. You’ll examine:

• The 3 strongest reasons to source from low-cost countries: direct cost savings, local talent and access to the domestic market
• How to put a number on the savings you can anticipate from cost migration
• The best indicators in your particular industry to help you decide if LCCS is the right decision
• How much it will cost to shift elsewhere – and the best locations for your business
• Strategies to ensure you achieve smooth, profitable LCC migration You’ll also leave this Workshop with an extremely helpful LCCS Starter Kit.

Brad Blonkvist Director Archstone Consulting

3.15pm - 4.00pm

Workshop 2 Global trade compliance issues and their impact on sourcing

Sourcing products and components globally is no longer a luxury or even an option for American companies that need to keep competitive. But in many cases, sourcing decisions are based solely on finding low-cost options – and an incomplete understanding of local cultures and international trade compliance issues that can make the true cost of acquiring the goods and services much higher than expected. Attend this Workshop to avoid the common mistakes made by many of your peers. We’ll deliver an update on all issues that have a major impact on import costs and must be considered when you make purchasing decisions:

• How to properly classify and value each merchandise
• Do goods you source actually qualify for preferential duty treatment under special trade programs including North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other free trade agreements? Are the proper records available to substantiate those claims?
• Overview of anti-dumping and countervailing duties
• Other Government Agency standards and admissibility requirements
• The impact on your imports of increased focus on health and safety issues
• Your Intellectual Property Rights in low-cost countries

Anthony Cambas is a NAFTA trade specialist who was previously employed by US Customs as an import specialist. Tony is an expert on tradematters including CAFTA implementation, Free Trade Agreement rules of origin, and customs riskmanagement in Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,Mexico, Nicaragua, and Nepal.

4.15pm - 5.00pm

Workshop 3:
China Close-up: How much longer will China remain the low-cost sourcing center of the world?

Business and political leaders across the planet coming to terms with China’s emergence as an economic superpower; China has overtaken America as the world leader in high-tech competitiveness, according to Georgia Institute of Technology. Meanwhile, the nature of Chinese industry is changing, with local companies facing intense competition, especially in manufacturing, where overcapacity is relentlessly driving down prices. Domestic and foreign companies are both acknowledging they need to do things differently. How will those changes affect your sourcing decisions? This Workshop will reveal the results of the China Competitiveness Study 2007 (conducted by The American Chamber of Commerce, Shanghai and Booz Allen Hamilton) and get you up-to-speed with current conditions, challenges and key success factors for manufacturing in China.

• How long will the low-cost approach continue to work for Chinese companies?
• Is China’s manufacturing competitiveness already at risk?
• With China increasingly opening its economy to foreign participation, how can domestic companies develop new – and sustainable – competitive advantages and how you can benefit from this trend?
• How to ensure your China operations are neither too sourcing-centric or too sales-centric
• Discover how you can best leverage the duality of China as a mega-growth market and a LCCS base

5.00pm - 5.45pm

Workshop 4:
6 tried and tested ways to make your LCCS operations more straightforward

LCCS has more complexities than domestic sourcing: cultural differences, currency, time zones, connectivity, distance, logistic constraints, language and political instability to name but a few. However, for businesses that master the issues, the gains of best-in-class LCCS are huge. AMR Research reports that companies with better supplier ontime delivery performance hold half the raw material inventory (17 days vs. 35 days) and have an 8% better perfect order performance. ThisWorkshop will give you an overview of key technologies to help you eliminate some of your LCCS complexities:

• AMR Research’s 6 business-critical components for successful LCCS
• Systems that store customer-configured products and purchased part information
• Analytics tools to extract and review essential data – such as supplier, commodity, location and associated costs
• E-sourcing tools for negotiations and business selection
• Tools for supplier selection and management to improve your perfect order rate, P2P efficiency and dollars-to-receipt
• Scenario-modeling techniques such as commodity historical, current and future predictions that help you analyze current and future industry and economic dynamics, as well as mitigate risk
• Third-party technology and services that enable you to reduce business partner and supplier risk and financial exposure

Mickey North Rizza Director AMR Research

5.45 - 6.30pm

Workshop 5:
Business Process Sourcing: Where strategic sourcing meets outsourcing and offshoring

Are you making the most profitable decisions on outsourcing, offshoring and shared service operations? For most companies, the answer is ‘No’. This session will show you how to have an earlier and greater impact on sourcing key processes: internal vs. external; on-shore vs. near-shore and off-shore. Come and find out why pushing these vital processes to a low-cost country is often the incorrect solution.

Keynote address:
How to augment labor and environmental laws - new challenges to LCCS

Sourcing manufacturing from low-cost geographies is not new or unique to the IT industry and yet changing times and global requirements are highlighting some new challenges to sourcing from these low-cost locations. 

In his presentation Kurt Doelling, Vice President Supply Management, Worldwide Operations at Sun Microsystems, will focus on these challenges and discuss how to augment labor and environmental laws, which are often less strict and often not enforced in low-cost geography areas.  He will also discuss the need to develop practices that will require companies or customers to pay for the carbon associated with the manufacture of their products and why a major shift is needed now rather than later.     

Kurt Doelling leads the development of Sun's worldwide operations strategy and oversees the entire spectrumof the company's suppliermanagement activities, from strategy development to supplier engineering and quality management, and procurement.

AROUND THE WORLD IN JUST A FEW HOURS!

Get yourself up-to-speed on sourcing in all the key low-cost country locations in just a few hours. This is your chance to discover which companies are sourcing from what countries… how fast the infrastructure is developing in individual regions… latest economic forecasts… the political outlook… specific cultural differences you must consider when sourcing… You’ll be briefed by people who have lived and worked for years in the places your business is interested in – their local knowledge is extremely valuable.

1.10pm - 1.40pm

1. Focus on Mexico: The closest solution to home-shoring?

Mexico’s attractions as a near-shoring market have gained favor among numerous North American buyers keen to keep their sourcing closer to hand. In fact, the rationale for Mexico-based sourcing is clear: many providers are located in border towns, meaning all significant travel is done in the US. Moreover, time zones are the same, and account service and interaction can be closely controlled.

However, sourcing in Mexico is still not without its problems – intellectual property rights and piracy remain key issues. That’s why, in this presentation, you will find out what the Mexican government is doing in order to improve the legal structure and security of foreign buyers.

Hector Marquez has served as a member of Mexico’s negotiation team under the North American Free Trade Agreement since 1991, and has also helped negotiate other trade agreements that Mexico has signed.

Hector Marquez Director Trade and NAFTA Office Embassy of Mexico

1.40pm - 2.10pm

2. Focus on Latin America: Will Argentina be the next LCCS hotspot?

Findings from a recent A.T. Kearney study, strongly suggest that near-shore destinations—particularly Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Costa Rica—could unseat traditional offshore regions, such as China and India. The study reports that Latin America offers business process outsourcing savings of up to 40% compared to America, which is only slightly less than savings available in India.

Already manufacturing hotspots, Latin America is also becoming an outsourcing services center, with companies like GM, Procter & Gamble, American Express, and Unilever, shifting to supply sources and service centers closer to Latin America, while top business process outsourcing vendors, such as TCS, Infosys and IBM, are setting up shop in the region.

Argentina is currently the most attractive region from a cost and skills basis, although it lags in political and economic stability compared to other Latin American countries. This presentation zones in on current economic and sourcing opportunities in Argentina. You will hear from official Argentinean government representatives, as well as from a Midwest based company that is successfully sourcing there.

2.10pm - 2.40pm

3. Focus on China: Finest hour – or heading for a fall?

Over the past twenty years, China has dispatched trade ministers beyond its borders in an attempt to lure the globe’s biggest manufacturers to Shanghai and other cities across its vast nation. But now the emphasis is on call centers, computer programming and high-tech.

China trends change very fast, and many sourcing incentives are quickly being stripped away. For example value-added tax rules have been scrapped and new labor law rules are heavily in favor of the employee – hiking costs for large manufacturers and multinationals. Moreover, the supply of raw materials – especially steel – is a constant constraint on China’s growth.

As a result, in many sectors Chinese manufacturers are no more competitive than their Western counterparts once transportation costs are factored in. So, where is China going? Join Siva Yam – an advisor to the US Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, president of the US-China Chamber of Commerce and an investment banker – who will give you a valuable update on the latest sourcing trends in China.

4. Focus on South-East Asia: Should you be doing business in the Philippines?

Leading South-East Asian nations that feel squeezed by China in the race for buyers and foreign investment, are fighting back aggressively to woo foreign firms by slashing red tape, inking free trade deals, upgrading infrastructure, and offering important incentives to foreign businesses. The region’s more advanced countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, also boast far better legal systems and intellectual property protection than China can offer – which is why China remains less successful in attracting high-value investment.

This presentation will focus on the Philippines, a country with a mature offshore industry for global IT services – generating an revenues of $5billion last year… a figure that is forecast to increase to $13 billion in 2010.

Come and learn more about the country’s competencies in: business process outsourcing, knowledge-based offshore work (financial and accounting, software development, engineering and architectural design), contact centers, creative e-services and health information management. You will also find out dos and don’ts of sourcing in Philippines.

Glenn Penaranda Special Trade Representative for the Midwest Philippine Trade & Investment Center ConsulateGeneral of the Philippines in Chicago

3.40pm - 4.30pm

5. Central & Eastern Europe: Insider knowledge that can be the difference between failure and success

One of the obstacles for American companies in sourcing in Central & Eastern Europe is that the region is neither politically, economically nor culturally homogeneous and, although there has been some convergence as a result of the membership criteria laid down by the EU, the simple fact is that if you fail to do your homework you will struggle to realize your objectives.

That’s why this session brings together a panel of highly experienced businesspeople who have lived in various Central & Eastern European countries for many years – and now are ready to share their insider-knowledge with you. This panel will focus on Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

Qimonda Case Study:
Qimonda: How to significantly increase sourcing cycle time and achieve savings from supplier identification

Qimonda operates in North America, China, Malaysia, Portugal and Germany with roots that connect it to Infineon Technologies and Siemens. The business has to manage short product cycles of between two and six months. Introducing low-cost suppliers in the semiconductor high-tech environment has proved tough in the past, due to R&D being based mostly in America and Europe – making purchasing activity and the low-cost supplier ate up too much time. However, by utilizing LCCS, Qimonda has been able to reduce sourcing cycle time by over 50%, and achieved front-loading savings into the bargain. Come and find out how they did it!

Wrap-up session:
When low-cost countries prove horribly expensive: Must-have knowledge that could save you millions of dollars

This final presentation will deliver an update on major differences between trade agreements affecting customs duties: trade promotion agreements, free trade agreements and standard full duty treatment. You’ll also find out how such agreements work – the ‘Rules of Origin’ that are too often forgotten at one's peril! – and make sure that no matter where you source your LCCS, everything goes according to plan, because you have answers to these seven questions:

1. Have you taken steps to ensure customs doesn't hold up your import shipment for marking violations – costing you thousands of dollars in fines and weeks of delays?
2. Have you based your savings plans on taking advantage of Generalized System of Preferences, the North American Free Trade Agreement, or other preferential trade programs, without first getting your supplier’s commitment that they qualify for them?
3. Are your customers counting on your finished goods to qualify for NAFTA, the Dominican Republic-Central American Free Trade Agreement, or some other free trade agreement to be duty-free in Canada,Mexico, or elsewhere?
4. Have you considered how outsourcing this part or that one may affect your ability to offer free trade agreement qualification on your finished product?
5. Do you know whether you have full, partial, or minimal coverage for loss or damage to your cargo in transit?
6. Do you have a risk management plan in case an overseas vendor is late – or are you risking six-figure expediting costs?
7. Will your new supplier’s packaging hold up through trucks, railroads, and ocean transit? And does it comply with the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures that state solid wood packing must be destroyed or re-exported before Customs will allow it into the USA?

John Di Leo has been a licensed Customs broker since 1987. He also spent eight years as the transportation manager at UOP LLC, which followed twenty years with various international freight forwarders.
