Fundamentals of Demand Planning

Procurement and Supply Chain|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of Demand Planning is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through contract administration and supplier relationship management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with tender evaluation, bid adjudication and spend analysis in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Explain tender evaluation to someone who does not do the work, measured against the CIPS professional standard
Review bid adjudication and say plainly whether it is working
Make a decision about spend analysis without waiting for a specialist
Spot where supplier development is failing before it becomes a finding
