Course Overview
Single sourcing on shipping and receiving forecasting looks efficient until the day it is not. Savings claimed on receiving forecasting at signature are frequently lost during execution. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this part of procurement and supply operations are used deliberately. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on shipping and receiving forecasting and revise it on evidence. Organisations that document the procurement and supply operations capability properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It treats receiving forecasting as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of shipping and receiving forecasting and supervised application. Buying a tool rarely fixes receiving forecasting; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this area of procurement and supply operations that would make a visible difference.
