Spend Analysis Masterclass

Procurement and Supply Chain|5 days|Classroom or live online

This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into tender evaluation, supplier performance measurement and the judgement calls that sit outside the CIPS professional standard. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with inventory optimisation, total cost of ownership and contract administration in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Review inventory optimisation and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the CIPS professional standard
Spot where total cost of ownership is failing before it becomes a finding
Make a decision about contract administration without waiting for a specialist
Take ownership of ethical sourcing rather than escalating it
