Course Overview
Most procurement disputes about goods receiving and verification originate in a specification written too quickly. Warehouse performance on receiving and verification is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the procurement and supply operations capability among the areas with the widest performance spread. Participants gain a realistic view of what goods receiving and verification costs and what it returns. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this area of procurement and supply operations in their own setting. The difficulty is not agreeing that receiving and verification matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It is written for people who have to make goods receiving and verification work with the resources they already have. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in receiving and verification, not around theory headings. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of procurement and supply operations that would make a visible difference.
