Reduce the working capital tied up in supplier quality complaints without creating stock-outs.
Building Systems to Track and Resolve Supplier Quality Complaints
Practical training in supplier quality complaints, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside supplier quality complaints. Warehouse performance on this area of procurement and supply operations is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the procurement and supply operations capability under scrutiny. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of supplier quality complaints and supervised application. Improvement in this part of procurement and supply operations stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The course sets out a working method for this aspect of procurement and supply operations that participants can apply the week they return. Mature organisations treat supplier quality complaints as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this part of procurement and supply operations. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this strand of procurement and supply operations that would make a visible difference.
