Savings claimed on automated quotation analysis at signature are frequently lost during execution. Inventory tied up in the wider procurement and supply operations agenda is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the procurement and supply operations discipline that were visible long before the incident. Moving automated quotation analysis from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this strand of procurement and supply operations in their own setting. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the procurement and supply operations capability. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in automated quotation analysis, not around theory headings. They leave able to brief senior management on the procurement and supply operations discipline in terms that support a decision. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of procurement and supply operations sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
