Logistics Management for Non-Specialists

Procurement and Supply Chain|2 days|Classroom or live online

Logistics 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 total cost of ownership 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 e-procurement systems, category management and contract administration in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Improve e-procurement systems within their own organisation, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
Explain category management to someone who does not do the work
Spot where contract administration is failing before it becomes a finding
Bring bid adjudication into line with current good practice
