Selecting the right suppliers is a critical decision that directly impacts project cost, schedule, quality, safety, and long-term organizational performance. While many organizations recognize the importance of supplier qualification, translating qualification frameworks into practical, repeatable processes remains a significant challenge. This webinar explores how organizations can move beyond ad hoc supplier selection practices and implement structured qualification programs that support strategic business objectives while reducing project risk.

During this interactive 60-minute session, participants will learn about recommended strategies and tactical approaches for developing and managing effective supplier qualification systems. The webinar will cover key implementation considerations, including defining qualification criteria, integrating risk-based assessments, aligning qualification processes with procurement workflows, leveraging supplier performance data, and gaining stakeholder buy-in across the organization. Drawing on industry research and real-world practices, attendees will leave with actionable guidance for establishing a scalable supplier qualification program that improves supplier performance, strengthens project outcomes, and creates a foundation for continuous improvement throughout the supply chain.
