Advanced Supplier Development

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 supply risk assessment, contract administration 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 category management, contract negotiation and warehouse operations in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Explain category management to someone who does not do the work, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
Review contract negotiation and say plainly whether it is working
Improve warehouse operations within their own organisation
