Course Overview

Single sourcing on obsolete stock and safe disposal looks efficient until the day it is not. A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside safe disposal. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for the procurement and supply operations discipline. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of obsolete stock and safe disposal and prepares them for it. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this strand of procurement and supply operations and revise it on evidence. Organisations that document safe disposal properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The course gives participants a defensible structure for obsolete stock and safe disposal and the judgement to adapt it. Improvement in safe disposal stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the practice within procurement and supply operations broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
