Warehouse performance on supply chain risk and emergency purchasing is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Inventory tied up in emergency purchasing is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Participants finish able to explain the procurement and supply operations capability to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from supply chain risk and emergency purchasing, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this area of procurement and supply operations. Organisations that document emergency purchasing properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The difficulty is not agreeing that supply chain risk and emergency purchasing matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It treats emergency purchasing as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the procurement and supply operations discipline sustainable.
