Distribution Management
Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online
This Distribution Management programme gives delegates a working command of inventory optimisation and contract administration, grounded in the CIPS professional standard. Organisations invest here because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supply risk assessment, demand planning and category management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put supply risk assessment on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Make a decision about demand planning without waiting for a specialist
- Bring category management into line with current good practice
- Explain supplier performance measurement to someone who does not do the work
