Course Overview
Most procurement disputes about supplier exit planning originate in a specification written too quickly. Warehouse performance on this part of procurement and supply operations is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this area of procurement and supply operations and revise it on evidence. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for supplier exit planning as they go. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this strand of procurement and supply operations among the areas with the widest performance spread. It concentrates on the parts of this part of procurement and supply operations that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants who influence supplier exit planning without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Plans for the practice within procurement and supply operations often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants leave with a plan for this part of procurement and supply operations sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
