Course Overview
Savings claimed on annual procurement planning at signature are frequently lost during execution. Warehouse performance on this part of procurement and supply operations is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. It is written for people who have to make the wider procurement and supply operations agenda work with the resources they already have. The programme converts annual procurement planning from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the procurement and supply operations capability that were visible long before the incident. Improvement in this aspect of procurement and supply operations stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. They leave able to brief senior management on annual procurement planning in terms that support a decision. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the procurement and supply operations capability rather than to abstract argument. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the procurement and supply operations discipline that participants can repeat annually.
