Leading Inventory Management Teams
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers supplier relationship management and logistics management from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with strategic sourcing, demand planning and supplier performance measurement in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of strategic sourcing rather than escalating it, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Improve demand planning within their own organisation
- Review supplier performance measurement and say plainly whether it is working
- Explain warehouse operations to someone who does not do the work
