Artificial Intelligence in Total Cost of Ownership
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 development and contract administration 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 total cost of ownership, category management and contract negotiation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put total cost of ownership on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Take ownership of category management rather than escalating it
- Make a decision about contract negotiation without waiting for a specialist
- Bring supplier relationship management into line with current good practice
