Course Overview
Single sourcing on detailed spend analysis looks efficient until the day it is not. Warehouse performance on the wider procurement and supply operations agenda is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this strand of procurement and supply operations has actually achieved. The most reliable predictor of sound detailed spend analysis is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the procurement and supply operations discipline is examined from more than one functional angle. The difficulty is not agreeing that this part of procurement and supply operations matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The course covers detailed spend analysis at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this strand of procurement and supply operations, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the procurement and supply operations capability that would make a visible difference.
