Supplier Relationship Management for Managers

Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online

This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers category management and contract negotiation from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with e-procurement systems, supplier relationship management and total cost of ownership in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Review e-procurement systems and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the CIPS professional standard
  • Take ownership of supplier relationship management rather than escalating it
  • Improve total cost of ownership within their own organisation
  • Put supplier development on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
