Total Cost of Ownership for Small and Medium Enterprises
3 days|Delivered on request
Total Cost of Ownership for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including contract negotiation, category management and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with demand planning, tender evaluation and inventory optimisation in their own organisation.
