Transportation services
Effective management of transportation services is essential for maintaining inbound supply schedules and customer service requirements. This seminar is designed to provide participants with an understanding of the various services available to purchasers, elements of the sourcing and acquisition process, contractual requirements and service metrics necessary to transform transportation into a strategic asset for the organization. Topics covered include: modal analysis and product constraints, selection criteria, acquisition strategies, performance metrics and best practices.
supplier Management/sourcing
In this two-day seminar participants will be introduced to concepts around supplier selection, management and evaluation. Selecting and managing suppliers is a fundamental role for buyers and procurement professionals across all industries. Conducting research and carefully evaluating your suppliers prior to developing relationships with them is the key to minimizing risk and forming long-lasting partnerships. Topics covered include: research, selection, maintenance, quality, joint ventures, metrics and overall administration required by buyers.
inventory Management
The function of inventory management is seldom appreciated. It seems that only when the inventories fail to generate revenues it receives attention from the responsible personnel of the organizations. Inventory serves the purpose of generating revenues and net income for the organization by ensuring the needs of all customers are properly satisfied. This seminar will introduce the participants to the mechanics of inventory management and follow through by introducing and demonstrating the application of these necessary resources for ensuring continued growth to the organization.
