Designing Quarantine Protocols for Goods of Doubtful Quality

Course Overview

Savings claimed on quality quarantine protocols at signature are frequently lost during execution. Most procurement disputes about this area of procurement and supply operations originate in a specification written too quickly. Improvement in the wider procurement and supply operations agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Participants who influence quality quarantine protocols without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this strand of procurement and supply operations. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the wider procurement and supply operations agenda outperform teams that only plan it. The course covers quality quarantine protocols at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for this area of procurement and supply operations as they go. The final module sets out how progress on the procurement and supply operations discipline will be evidenced six months later.
