Strategic Sourcing Auditing and Assurance
5 days|Delivered on request
This programme is written from the assurance side. Delegates learn to test whether e-procurement systems and supplier relationship management are working as claimed, and how to evidence the conclusion. Assurance work is under scrutiny because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception. Delegates leave able to work confidently with warehouse operations, contract negotiation and strategic sourcing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review warehouse operations and say plainly whether it is working, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
