Fundamentals of Logistics Management
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Logistics Management is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through inventory optimisation and e-procurement systems 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 strategic sourcing, supplier performance measurement and supply risk assessment in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve strategic sourcing within their own organisation, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
- Make a decision about supplier performance measurement without waiting for a specialist
- Explain supply risk assessment to someone who does not do the work
- Bring total cost of ownership into line with current good practice
