Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online
This programme is written from the assurance side. Delegates learn to test whether inventory optimisation and total cost of ownership are working as claimed, and how to evidence the conclusion. Assurance work is under scrutiny because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supply risk assessment, warehouse operations and category management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about supply risk assessment without waiting for a specialist, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Put warehouse operations on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Improve category management within their own organisation
- Review bid adjudication and say plainly whether it is working
