Transportation services
Effective management of transportation services is essential for maintaining inbound supply schedules and customer service requirements.

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.

negotiation strategies for sCM

This seminar is designed to prepare buying staff to succeed through development of a consistent and disciplined approach to the negotiations process and a tool kit that can be used to ensure competent buyer action. The result is a much more cognizant awareness of the negotiating process to provide the attendee with a high degree of confidence in their approach to negotiations and their ability to determine and use the appropriate negotiating strategies. Negotiations do not always go as planned and information or an approach that has not been planned can lead to additional positives. Negotiation sessions can be predictable but outcomes and results are not necessarily fulfilled as designed. As a result, the need to approach negotiations with flexibility and objectivity is needed to ensure that new opportunities are fully explored and understood and wherever possible accommodated within the negotiating framework. The seminar is designed to reinforce a disciplined approach with flexibility built into the process.

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.
