Advanced Supply Chain Risk

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 contract administration, ethical sourcing and the judgement calls that sit outside ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement. 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 inventory optimisation, category management and spend analysis in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Explain inventory optimisation to someone who does not do the work, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
Bring category management into line with current good practice
Make a decision about spend analysis without waiting for a specialist
