Fundamentals of Supplier Auditing
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Supplier Auditing is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through supplier development and spend analysis without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with demand planning, supplier relationship management and logistics management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about demand planning without waiting for a specialist, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Put supplier relationship management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Explain logistics management to someone who does not do the work
- Take ownership of category management rather than escalating it
