Distribution Management 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 strategic sourcing and supplier development from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with tender evaluation, supplier performance measurement and supply risk assessment in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain tender evaluation to someone who does not do the work, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Bring supplier performance measurement into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of supply risk assessment rather than escalating it
- Make a decision about supplier relationship management without waiting for a specialist
