Fundamentals of Distribution Management
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Distribution Management is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through logistics management and contract negotiation without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, 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, demand planning and supplier development in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review tender evaluation and say plainly whether it is working, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Spot where demand planning is failing before it becomes a finding
- Put supplier development on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Improve ethical sourcing within their own organisation
