Inventory Management for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Inventory Management for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through strategic sourcing and logistics 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 inventory optimisation, supply risk assessment and spend analysis in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about inventory optimisation without waiting for a specialist, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Spot where supply risk assessment is failing before it becomes a finding
- Explain spend analysis to someone who does not do the work
- Put ethical sourcing on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
