Course Overview
Most procurement disputes about intelligent barcode stocktaking originate in a specification written too quickly. Savings claimed on the procurement and supply operations capability at signature are frequently lost during execution. Improvement in the practice within procurement and supply operations stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for intelligent barcode stocktaking, not for observers of it. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this part of procurement and supply operations among the areas with the widest performance spread. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this area of procurement and supply operations, not around theory headings. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about intelligent barcode stocktaking in their own setting. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the practice within procurement and supply operations under scrutiny. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this area of procurement and supply operations rather than a set of notes.
