Managing Supplier Development
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers inventory optimisation and strategic sourcing 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 contract negotiation, warehouse operations and spend analysis in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve contract negotiation within their own organisation, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Make a decision about warehouse operations without waiting for a specialist
- Bring spend analysis into line with current good practice
- Put bid adjudication on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
