Category Management: Tools and Techniques
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through ethical sourcing and category management on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with e-procurement systems, total cost of ownership and warehouse operations in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain e-procurement systems to someone who does not do the work, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Put total cost of ownership on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Bring warehouse operations into line with current good practice
- Spot where spend analysis is failing before it becomes a finding
