Mounting pressure from healthcare providers to reduce the overall cost of healthcare service delivery has resulted in medical device firms increasingly looking towards efficiency and reduction of costs associated with sourcing materials and component parts for medical technologies. Executives responsible for strategic sourcing of materials and components have, as a result, taken a variety of steps to streamline operating costs, leveraging new procurement technologies and strategies to marginalize costs while mitigating the risks of utilizing lower cost components. As pressure to reduce costs continues to play a pivotal factor for medical device strategic sourcing teams, gathering for the 2nd Annual Medical Device Strategic Sourcing Conference will provide teams with an opportunity to gather to discuss and debate not only the challenges faced but also practical strategies for maintaining the highest level of product quality at a reduced cost through unparalleled sourcing tactics.
