More than 100 Managers Attend IPMA 2009
Opportunities in a Down Economy
Jerry Sampson, of xpedx, spoke on this last topic. He advised in-plants to find out from their accounting department which jobs are being sent outside and who is buying this work. These are opportunities for the in-plant, he said. Also, interview customers to determine what types of work they purchase outside. Discover insourcing opportunities as well, he said, by looking to your parent organization’s vendors and subsidiaries, as well as to associations and organizations.
