Course Overview

Single sourcing on defect traceability systems looks efficient until the day it is not. Warehouse performance on the practice within procurement and supply operations is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. It treats the procurement and supply operations discipline as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to defect traceability systems in an order their organisation can absorb. Applied research in procurement and supply operations consistently shows that early structure around this aspect of procurement and supply operations reduces downstream rework. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the wider procurement and supply operations agenda and under-invest in testing it. It is written for people who have to make defect traceability systems work with the resources they already have. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this part of procurement and supply operations hard in practice. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of procurement and supply operations survives a hostile question.
