Strategic Demand Planning
5 days|Delivered on request
Strategic Demand Planning looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on contract administration, contract negotiation and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception. Delegates leave able to work confidently with total cost of ownership, demand planning and strategic sourcing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review total cost of ownership and say plainly whether it is working, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Put demand planning on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Improve strategic sourcing within their own organisation
- Take ownership of category management rather than escalating it
