Advanced Supplier Auditing
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into category management, warehouse operations and the judgement calls that sit outside the CIPS professional standard. 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 contract negotiation, contract administration and tender evaluation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about contract negotiation without waiting for a specialist, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Review contract administration and say plainly whether it is working
- Take ownership of tender evaluation rather than escalating it
- Improve inventory optimisation within their own organisation
