Practical Supplier Relationship Management
Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through contract negotiation and total cost of ownership on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with e-procurement systems, logistics management and bid adjudication in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review e-procurement systems and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Take ownership of logistics management rather than escalating it
- Improve bid adjudication within their own organisation
- Bring ethical sourcing into line with current good practice
