Demand Planning for Small and Medium Enterprises
3 days|Delivered on request
Demand Planning for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including tender evaluation, supplier relationship management and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier development, bid adjudication and contract administration in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where supplier development is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Improve bid adjudication within their own organisation
- Explain contract administration to someone who does not do the work
- Take ownership of contract negotiation rather than escalating it
