Inventory Management in the Public Sector

Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online

Inventory Management in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including supplier performance measurement, inventory optimisation and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with contract negotiation, category management and total cost of ownership in their own organisation.

Improve contract negotiation within their own organisation, measured against the CIPS professional standard
Make a decision about category management without waiting for a specialist
