This seminar outlines the fundamental responsibilities of the purchasing function and how they contribute to the success of the organisation. Methods and approaches to ‘purchasing smarter’ are examined where emphasis is directed away from traditional adversarial relationships that have developed between the buyer and seller throughout the years. In addition participants will appreciate the effects of sub-optimum performance on the rest of the organisation, particularly production whom are their main internal customer. Active sharing of learning experiences and practical exercises will be used throughout.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND ?
This two-day seminar is designed primarily for those new to the purchasing function who require a broader understanding of the latest trends and training in how to work smarter. It will also benefit those not directly involved who require a general appreciation of the purchasing function.
