Advanced Strategic Sourcing
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into tender evaluation, e-procurement systems 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 supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supply risk assessment, logistics management and total cost of ownership in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain supply risk assessment to someone who does not do the work, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Spot where logistics management is failing before it becomes a finding
- Review total cost of ownership and say plainly whether it is working
