Contract Negotiation for Managers
Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers e-procurement systems and inventory optimisation 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 warehouse operations, category management and logistics management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review warehouse operations and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
- Make a decision about category management without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of logistics management rather than escalating it
- Put bid adjudication on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
