Course Overview
Single sourcing on supplier disruption mitigation looks efficient until the day it is not. Inventory tied up in the procurement and supply operations discipline is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this area of procurement and supply operations in their own setting. Practitioner evidence points the same way: supplier disruption mitigation improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this strand of procurement and supply operations before they become incidents. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the procurement and supply operations discipline are used deliberately. It establishes a shared vocabulary for supplier disruption mitigation so that teams can disagree productively about it. Most organisations already have a policy on this area of procurement and supply operations; far fewer can show it working. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the procurement and supply operations discipline broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
