About the Instructor
Kenneth M. Rowe is President of Rowe Associates, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in purchasing and supply chain management. Since founding the firm 20 years ago, he and his associates have trained over 30,000 professionals--from new buyers to senior executives-- representing over 300 organizations. Ken was the first to develop comprehensive purchasing seminars which have since been adopted by ISM and all of his university partners.
Ken has also developed and implemented a number of tools for measuring, identifying, and controlling factors that determine a supplier's ability to provide quality, delivery, and price within marketplace constraints. His unique Purchasing Operations Review program has also well served the purchasing needs of his clients.
Ken's business career reflects constant growth and challenge--from a buyer for an electronics firm to director of purchasing for Parker Brothers Games, where he established a worldwide network of vendors.
His unique blend of professional experience--buyer, senior purchasing executive, consultant--his gift of teaching, and his education (M.B.A. and B.S. Industrial Management) make him one of the industry's most sought-after speakers.
