Course Overview
Single sourcing on supply chain crisis management looks efficient until the day it is not. Most procurement disputes about crisis management originate in a specification written too quickly. It treats the procurement and supply operations discipline as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants who influence supply chain crisis management without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this aspect of procurement and supply operations rather than to abstract argument. They acquire practical criteria for judging when crisis management is working and when it is only appearing to. Organisations that document supply chain crisis management properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Plans for crisis management often fail at the handover point between functions. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this strand of procurement and supply operations that would make a visible difference.
