Fundamentals of Supply Chain Risk

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

Fundamentals of Supply Chain Risk is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through tender evaluation and supply risk assessment 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 contract administration, supplier development and inventory optimisation in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Make a decision about contract administration without waiting for a specialist, measured against the CIPS professional standard
