Course Overview
Warehouse performance on single-source supplier strategy is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Most procurement disputes about the practice within procurement and supply operations originate in a specification written too quickly. Participants who influence this area of procurement and supply operations without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. It treats single-source supplier strategy as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. They leave able to brief senior management on the wider procurement and supply operations agenda in terms that support a decision. Participants apply this aspect of procurement and supply operations to their own supply function throughout, so the output is directly usable. The most reliable predictor of sound single-source supplier strategy is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Progress on this part of procurement and supply operations is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this strand of procurement and supply operations that participants can repeat annually.
