Advanced Total Cost of Ownership
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into supplier performance measurement, total cost of ownership 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 procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price. Delegates leave able to work confidently with warehouse operations, supplier development and ethical sourcing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about warehouse operations without waiting for a specialist, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Put supplier development on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Take ownership of ethical sourcing rather than escalating it
- Improve demand planning within their own organisation
