Practical Total Cost of Ownership
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through supplier relationship management and contract negotiation on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier performance measurement, demand planning and logistics management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain supplier performance measurement to someone who does not do the work, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
- Put demand planning on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Improve logistics management within their own organisation
- Make a decision about category management without waiting for a specialist
