Supply Chain Risk Masterclass

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

This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into ethical sourcing, total cost of ownership and the judgement calls that sit outside the CIPS professional standard. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with spend analysis, supplier relationship management and warehouse operations in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Bring spend analysis into line with current good practice, measured against the CIPS professional standard
Spot where supplier relationship management is failing before it becomes a finding
Make a decision about warehouse operations without waiting for a specialist
