Inventory Management Masterclass
Procurement and Supply Chain|5 days|Classroom or live online
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into inventory optimisation, ethical sourcing and the judgement calls that sit outside the CIPS professional standard. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier performance measurement, strategic sourcing and contract administration in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve supplier performance measurement within their own organisation, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Explain strategic sourcing to someone who does not do the work
- Put contract administration on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Spot where bid adjudication is failing before it becomes a finding
