Demand Planning 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 supplier performance measurement and contract negotiation from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with strategic sourcing, ethical sourcing and warehouse operations in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where strategic sourcing is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Explain ethical sourcing to someone who does not do the work
- Bring warehouse operations into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of bid adjudication rather than escalating it
