Sound familiar?

These are the problems this training is built to fix.

Emergency buys at premium prices

Urgent orders placed outside contracts because nobody planned the need early enough.

Tenders awarded on price alone

The cheapest bid wins, then fails on delivery times, quality or after-sales service.

No objective way to rate suppliers

Renewals depend on habit or relationships, not measured performance.

Departments buying the same item differently

Different brands, vendors and prices for one consumable, so you lose your bargaining power.

What you'll master
