Artificial Intelligence in Spend Analysis

Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online

This programme examines how the practice is shifting, and what delegates should adopt, adapt or ignore. It works through supplier relationship management and strategic sourcing as they stand today and where they are heading. The shift is worth understanding because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with warehouse operations, spend analysis and ethical sourcing in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Bring warehouse operations into line with current good practice, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
Improve spend analysis within their own organisation
Review ethical sourcing and say plainly whether it is working
Make a decision about logistics management without waiting for a specialist
