Artificial Intelligence in Supplier Development
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme examines how the practice is shifting, and what delegates should adopt, adapt or ignore. It works through contract negotiation and warehouse operations as they stand today and where they are heading. The shift is worth understanding because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception. Delegates leave able to work confidently with category management, supplier development and e-procurement systems in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain category management to someone who does not do the work, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Put supplier development on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Bring e-procurement systems into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of strategic sourcing rather than escalating it
