Demand Planning for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Demand Planning for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through e-procurement systems and contract administration without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with total cost of ownership, supplier development and tender evaluation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of total cost of ownership rather than escalating it, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Spot where supplier development is failing before it becomes a finding
- Improve tender evaluation within their own organisation
- Explain bid adjudication to someone who does not do the work
