Course Overview

Single sourcing on high-density automated racking looks efficient until the day it is not. Most procurement disputes about this area of procurement and supply operations originate in a specification written too quickly. The level assumes working familiarity with the supply function but no prior formal training in the procurement and supply operations capability. It establishes a shared vocabulary for high-density automated racking so that teams can disagree productively about it. Where this area of procurement and supply operations is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Improvement in the wider procurement and supply operations agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from high-density automated racking, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants gain a realistic view of what this part of procurement and supply operations costs and what it returns. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within procurement and supply operations will be evidenced six months later.
