Logistics Management: Tools and Techniques
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through strategic sourcing and tender evaluation on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with e-procurement systems, supplier relationship management and total cost of ownership in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about e-procurement systems without waiting for a specialist, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Review supplier relationship management and say plainly whether it is working
- Bring total cost of ownership into line with current good practice
- Improve bid adjudication within their own organisation
