Outsourcing Services One of the key services that NML provides to the healthcare supply chain industry is short to intermediate term management as contract executives. We have experience serving in senior supply chain management positions on a part-time, interim basis while our clients look for the permanent individual. Many healthcare systems find recruiting experienced medical supply chain talent to be a sizeable challenge these days. The supply chain function is still a bit of an “emerging discipline,” so there is not an abundance of qualified candidates. And even when they do locate people who have the technical skills to do the job, they’re still tasked with making sure that they will fit with the culture, containing all the ingredients of a successful long term hire. As management of this important function moves up in importance, and profile, within organizations, it is increasingly becoming a higher risk hire. It is important to make the right decision the first time because a hiring mistake can be costly in many ways. As a contract executive, NML can begin working with the management team almost immediately, providing peace of mind that the organization has filled a temporary void in this important function. With experienced management in place, those recruiting can take their time to conduct a solid recruitment and find the right person, not a quick fix that settles for the best of what is available at the time. Because we approach our work in an advisory capacity, a natural side benefit of working this way is we can bring a significant planning component to the assignment. Many clients find that our analysis helps them fine tune their needs for key management positions, helping them to better understand the skill set and experience that they really need. We can even be part of the hiring team. If you think contract management of your supply function could be a good fit with your situation, we’d like to talk with you further about the many benefits it affords. We are also delighted to connect you with our customers who can tell you first-hand what it is like to work with NML and what we were able to do for their organizations. |
