Category Management Masterclass

This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into supply risk assessment, spend analysis and the judgement calls that sit outside the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act. 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 total cost of ownership, logistics management and demand planning in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain total cost of ownership to someone who does not do the work, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Spot where logistics management is failing before it becomes a finding
- Take ownership of demand planning rather than escalating it
- Put strategic sourcing on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
