Course Overview
A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside procurement policy development. Most procurement disputes about this aspect of procurement and supply operations originate in a specification written too quickly. Every module pairs a short input on this strand of procurement and supply operations with structured practice on the participant's own material. It treats procurement policy development as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Progress on this area of procurement and supply operations is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The most reliable predictor of sound the wider procurement and supply operations agenda is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It is designed for mixed groups, so that procurement policy development is examined from more than one functional angle. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this part of procurement and supply operations, ready to be adapted internally. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the wider procurement and supply operations agenda survives a hostile question.
