Supplier Development: Tools and Techniques
Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through e-procurement systems and demand planning on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with ethical sourcing, category management and supply risk assessment in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about ethical sourcing without waiting for a specialist, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Bring category management into line with current good practice
- Spot where supply risk assessment is failing before it becomes a finding
- Put tender evaluation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
