Leading Spend Analysis Teams

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

This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers e-procurement systems and demand planning 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 category management, strategic sourcing and contract negotiation in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Review category management and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
Make a decision about strategic sourcing without waiting for a specialist
Explain contract negotiation to someone who does not do the work
Spot where warehouse operations is failing before it becomes a finding
