Course Overview
Single sourcing on reverse logistics cost optimisation looks efficient until the day it is not. Most procurement disputes about cost optimisation originate in a specification written too quickly. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for this part of procurement and supply operations as they go. A common pattern is strong design of reverse logistics cost optimisation paired with weak follow-through. The most reliable predictor of sound the practice within procurement and supply operations is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It suits anyone whose decisions touch cost optimisation, in large organisations and small ones alike. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in reverse logistics cost optimisation before they become incidents. It establishes a shared vocabulary for cost optimisation so that teams can disagree productively about it. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the procurement and supply operations capability that would make a visible difference.
