Managing Demand Planning
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers logistics management and total cost of ownership from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with ethical sourcing, supplier development and category management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of ethical sourcing rather than escalating it, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
- Make a decision about supplier development without waiting for a specialist
- Explain category management to someone who does not do the work
- Review contract administration and say plainly whether it is working
