Demand Planning Masterclass

Procurement and Supply Chain|5 days|Classroom or live online

This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into supplier relationship management, category management and the judgement calls that sit outside the CIPS professional standard. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with spend analysis, inventory optimisation and tender evaluation in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Improve spend analysis within their own organisation, measured against the CIPS professional standard
  • Explain inventory optimisation to someone who does not do the work
  • Put tender evaluation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
  • Take ownership of supply risk assessment rather than escalating it
