Supplier Development for Small and Medium Enterprises
3 days|Delivered on request
Supplier Development for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including supply risk assessment, contract administration 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 logistics management, total cost of ownership and contract negotiation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve logistics management within their own organisation, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Take ownership of total cost of ownership rather than escalating it
- Spot where contract negotiation is failing before it becomes a finding
- Review supplier performance measurement and say plainly whether it is working
