Category Management for Managers
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers inventory optimisation and contract administration from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with tender evaluation, logistics management and total cost of ownership in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve tender evaluation within their own organisation, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Review logistics management and say plainly whether it is working
- Spot where total cost of ownership is failing before it becomes a finding
- Bring warehouse operations into line with current good practice
