Strategic Sourcing for Small and Medium Enterprises

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

Strategic Sourcing for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including inventory optimisation, strategic sourcing and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with demand planning, supplier development and contract negotiation in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Bring demand planning into line with current good practice, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations

Make a decision about contract negotiation without waiting for a specialist
