Inventory tied up in non-disruptive warehouse expansion is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Savings claimed on the procurement and supply operations discipline at signature are frequently lost during execution. It is written for people who have to make this aspect of procurement and supply operations work with the resources they already have. Participants leave with a method for non-disruptive warehouse expansion, not a set of opinions about it. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the procurement and supply operations discipline in an order their organisation can absorb. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the practice within procurement and supply operations in their own setting. Organisations that document non-disruptive warehouse expansion properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The version of this part of procurement and supply operations described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this aspect of procurement and supply operations sustainable.
