Check for Available Dates >>
Course Outline
The effects of recent economic conditions has led to many new staff sharing or taking control of some part of the purchasing function. Unless properly trained these individuals will be a weak link in the chain of an efficient operation.
This seminar outlines the fundamental
responsibilities of the purchasing function and it contributes to the success of the
organisation. Methods and approaches to ‘purchasing smarter’ are examined.
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.
Course Objective
To provide new and recently appointed purchasing staff with the necessary skills and techniques to conduct their activities in an efficient and professional manner.
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.
