Total Cost of Ownership for Small and Medium Enterprises
Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online
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.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where demand planning is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
- Bring tender evaluation into line with current good practice
- Explain inventory optimisation to someone who does not do the work
- Improve supplier relationship management within their own organisation
