Course Overview

Warehouse performance on paperless procurement transition is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Inventory tied up in the practice within procurement and supply operations is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Applied research in procurement and supply operations consistently shows that early structure around this area of procurement and supply operations reduces downstream rework. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for paperless procurement transition, not for observers of it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the wider procurement and supply operations agenda is working and when it is only appearing to. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for the procurement and supply operations discipline as they go. It concentrates on the parts of paperless procurement transition that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The version of this aspect of procurement and supply operations described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme closes with an action plan for the procurement and supply operations discipline that each participant writes for their own organisation.
