NPD & Engineering: Supplier Crisis Management

by Rick Bauer and Janelle Hampton

DonaldsonCompany

What happens when a key vendor experiences production problems? Rick Bauer and Janelle Hampton from Donaldson will discuss the problem of procuring materials from a single source supplier. Rick and Janelle collaborated to redesign Donaldson’s supply processes. They involved cross-functional colleagues to successfully identify unknowns, risks, and glitches created by supply loss. Their practical experiences are a valuable lesson in the current climate of unforeseen operational disruptions.

Given the CDC’s 8 week “no meeting over 10” mandate, NPDE’s 8 engineering manager speakers will deliver their presentations virtually over 8 weeks, beginning on Friday, April 3^rd.
