About the programme

Course Overview

Savings claimed on in-warehouse asset tracking at signature are frequently lost during execution. Most procurement disputes about this aspect of procurement and supply operations originate in a specification written too quickly. Where this strand of procurement and supply operations is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The course covers in-warehouse asset tracking at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this aspect of procurement and supply operations and revise it on evidence. A common pattern is strong design of this area of procurement and supply operations paired with weak follow-through. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with in-warehouse asset tracking. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for the wider procurement and supply operations agenda as they go. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this aspect of procurement and supply operations sustainable.
