A man is known by the company he keeps goes to the age-old adage. True to this adage, it can be said that a company is known by the vendors it keeps. In today’s competitive environment, progressive firms must be able to produce quality products at reasonable prices. Product quality is a direct result of the production workforce and suppliers. Buying organisations can no longer afford to maintain a large supplier base. There is a clear shift from a one-time operational relationship to a long term strategic relationship. This Supplier Management and Development training course is designed so that you get insight into the strategic aspects of buyer-supplier relationships.
By attending Supplier Management and Development workshop, delegates will learn:
- Distinguishing between strategic, tactical and operational procurement
- Develop a checklist so as to appraise the suppliers
- Evaluating and rating the potential suppliers
- Categorisation of the suppliers
- Developing the suppliers to reduce the cost after 2-3 years
- Conducting a satisfaction survey of the suppliers
