Aim of the Seminar
Managers with procurement responsibility need to act in an increasingly complex environment. Cross-functional thinking is needed in order to obtain Best Value results. For example, aspects of logistics, management processes, varying standards and quality assurance need to be thought of during the early planning stage.
The seminar's attendants will be familiarized with an optimal, cost-oriented design of the purchasing process, including operational, strategic and practical aspects. Our experienced trainers will introduce the measures and concepts which are needed to avoid the exceeding of specified cost limits while guaranteeing the required quality.
The training provides the participants with an effective understanding of the main principles of strategic purchasing, thereby enabling them to contribute more efficiently to the future success of your company's buying operations.
