Topic: Supplier Risk Management

Every organization manages risk in some way, shape or form. Some organizations have formal processes and procedures to identify, mitigate and manage risk. Often times risk management processes are focused internally; potentially losing sight of the external risks from suppliers. As global markets expand, so does the supply chain; which leads to an increase in risk to an organization.

Managing the risk from suppliers can be a daunting process; but it doesn’t need to be. Approaching Supplier Risk Management is similar to internal risk management; it’s a cross-functional approach. There are tools and techniques to identify, mitigate, and manage supplier risks as part of a risk management system that can benefit an organization of any size.

This webinar will explore strategies, tools, and techniques to take some of the guesswork out of managing supplier risks from the overall supplier management perspective to analyzing the risk of an individual supplier.

ASQ1106 Support of K-12 Education

The Northeast TN Section 1106 of ASQ is committed to supporting K-12 education and outreach initiatives that foster the development of quality professionals and leaders in our community. Hank Somers, Coordinator for Support of K-12 Education, Northeast Tennessee Section, American Society for Quality scans two local papers online each morning to see if there are any positive articles on local education achievements. When he identifies one, he will send emails to the recipient school or district leadership, as well as community leaders congratulating the achievement. This effort is greatly appreciated by our education and leadership communities in our area.

ASQ 1106 also supports local STEM related camps financially, like the support in 2024 of the Kids Rule! Technology Camp for grades 6-8 and the Explore Camp for middle and high school educators, counselors, and teachers, both to be held this summer at Northeast State Community College.

This support also builds relationships for ASQ with educators and the community.
