Advanced Supplier Relationship Management
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into category management, supplier development and the judgement calls that sit outside the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier performance measurement, inventory optimisation and total cost of ownership in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where supplier performance measurement is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
- Bring inventory optimisation into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of total cost of ownership rather than escalating it
- Review warehouse operations and say plainly whether it is working
