Distribution Management Masterclass
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into logistics management, supply risk assessment 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 total cost of ownership, spend analysis and category management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where total cost of ownership is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Take ownership of spend analysis rather than escalating it
- Put category management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Bring demand planning into line with current good practice
