Advanced Logistics Management

Procurement and Supply Chain|5 days|Classroom or live online

This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into category management, logistics management and the judgement calls that sit outside the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier development, supplier performance measurement and demand planning in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Put supplier development on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
Bring supplier performance measurement into line with current good practice
Make a decision about demand planning without waiting for a specialist
