Course Overview
Warehouse performance on procurement team capability is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Single sourcing on this aspect of procurement and supply operations looks efficient until the day it is not. Organisations that document this area of procurement and supply operations properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The programme works equally well for those formalising procurement team capability for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Moving this part of procurement and supply operations from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the procurement and supply operations discipline and supervised application. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about procurement team capability. The course sets out a working method for this strand of procurement and supply operations that participants can apply the week they return. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this area of procurement and supply operations rather than a set of notes.
