Evaluate suppliers for resource planning and procurement integration on total cost of ownership, not unit price.
Building Resource Planning System Integration with Procurement and Warehouses
Practical training in resource planning and procurement integration, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Single sourcing on resource planning and procurement integration looks efficient until the day it is not. Warehouse performance on procurement integration is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the procurement and supply operations discipline and under-invest in testing it. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better resource planning and procurement integration is rarely technical. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this aspect of procurement and supply operations, ready to be adapted internally. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of procurement integration rather than to abstract argument. It treats resource planning and procurement integration as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on procurement integration are used deliberately. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of procurement and supply operations that each participant writes for their own organisation.
