Supplier Auditing for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Supplier Auditing for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through supply risk assessment and total cost of ownership 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 strategic sourcing, logistics management and contract negotiation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put strategic sourcing on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Take ownership of logistics management rather than escalating it
- Review contract negotiation and say plainly whether it is working
- Make a decision about ethical sourcing without waiting for a specialist
