Distribution Management for Small and Medium Enterprises

Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online

Distribution Management for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including contract negotiation, strategic sourcing and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with category management, contract administration and supplier performance measurement in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Review category management and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
Take ownership of contract administration rather than escalating it
Put supplier performance measurement on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
Bring ethical sourcing into line with current good practice
