About the programme

Course Overview

Single sourcing on vertical storage utilisation looks efficient until the day it is not. Savings claimed on this part of procurement and supply operations at signature are frequently lost during execution. The version of this area of procurement and supply operations described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what vertical storage utilisation has actually achieved. Participants who influence this aspect of procurement and supply operations without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. This programme builds the procurement and supply operations discipline from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Participants test their assumptions about vertical storage utilisation against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this strand of procurement and supply operations outperform teams that only plan it. The programme closes with an action plan for the wider procurement and supply operations agenda that each participant writes for their own organisation.
