PolyDyne to Speak on Managing Global Spend for Strategic Outsourcing at the E-Supply Chain Conference in Singapore
Austin, TX – August 26, 2004— PolyDyne® Software Inc. (PSI), the leading provider of enterprising solutions for strategic outsourcing to the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) sector, today announced that the company has been invited to speak at the E-Supply Chain Conference, which will be held on September 8, 2004 in Singapore. David Tabb, PolyDyne’s CEO/President, will discuss the topic, “Managing Global Spend for Strategic Outsourcing.”
The E-Supply Chain Conference is one of several conferences that will be held in conjunction with GlobalTRONICS 2004, Asia’s most important events for the electronics manufacturing industry. The focus of this year’s conference, which was set by the Singapore Institute for Material Management (SIMM), will be to discuss knowledge management strategies for the supply chain for achieving operational excellence and competitive advantage.
“Today’s post-recessionary business environment is forcing managers to focus on reducing total costs and adopting best practices in their supply chain processes,” said David Tabb, CEO/President of PolyDyne. “Now that the EMS supply chain is truly a global one,” added Mr. Tabb, “it makes sense for all participants to take a more strategic approach to outsourcing since it reduces barriers that add costs and other inefficiencies into the supply chain. Consequently, what’s now critical for strategically managing a company’s total manufacturing costs in the global supply chain is getting timely access to and transforming enterprise-wide product build costs and supplier data into actionable knowledge.”
