Spend Analysis for Non-Specialists
Procurement and Supply Chain|2 days|Classroom or live online
Spend Analysis for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through bid adjudication and contract negotiation without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supply risk assessment, supplier performance measurement and spend analysis in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain supply risk assessment to someone who does not do the work, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
- Spot where supplier performance measurement is failing before it becomes a finding
- Make a decision about spend analysis without waiting for a specialist
- Review inventory optimisation and say plainly whether it is working
