To Advance Organizational Success in a
Changing Competitive Marketplace 
April 13th, 2010

The North Shore Chapter of APICS welcomes Robert A. Adelson, Esq. of Engel & Schultz, LLP.
As a Supply Chain manager, you are often dealing with contracts: your own and others. Do your contributions advance realization of organizational goals? What should you be looking for in your contracts? What makes a good and effective contract? When should you seek help? Mr. Adelson will first discuss basic do's and don'ts:
• Making contracts enforceable
• What makes them unenforceable
• When to leave things unenforceable
• How to be clearer, avoid uncertainty
• How to cut legal costs to enforce the contract

Just because it's valid, is your contract any good? Mr. Adelson will next discuss what makes a good contract:
• Mission - Defining your mission and covering the scope of contract
• Conditions - Current and relevant variables, contingencies to performance
• Reliance - Setting out warranties and representations that each side relies upon
