Managing Supply Chain Risk
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers total cost of ownership and logistics management 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 demand planning, warehouse operations and ethical sourcing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve demand planning within their own organisation, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Bring warehouse operations into line with current good practice
- Review ethical sourcing and say plainly whether it is working
- Explain supply risk assessment to someone who does not do the work
