Below are my recommendations for this week’s best webinars.

“There’s a false dichotomy between cost and safety. Are we willing and able to account for the many costs of not having a quality operation: lack of cooperation, poor leadership, waste, and incidents and accidents? If we really and truly account for them, then safety can pay for itself. Getting it wrong is more expensive than doing it right the first time.” – Capt. ‘Sully’ Sullenberger

After a drought last week, webinars are back with a vengeance! There are 9 this week and 12 already scheduled for next week. Having so many events to choose from doesn’t necessarily make it easy to pick just a few to recommend, but it does ensure that if you make the time you will learn something new.

This week’s webinar notes are from a September 8^th webinar sponsored by APICS Southeast and presented by Melissa Wright, VP of Supply Chain at Prayon Group. The event is available on demand on YouTube.

If you take a look at the Buyers Meeting Point events calendar for this week, there is nothing going on. None of our usual hosts or organizers have anything planned.

So we looked to our friends at Webinara to see what they might have listed and found some great webinars to recommend!

Don’t look now, but it’s officially August! There are exactly 5 weeks until Labor Day, which means you’re either trying to hold onto summer as long as you can or you’re counting the days until the first day of school because your three small children are so loud and active they make it very hard to objectively stay on top of the comings and goings in procurement and Wait!
