Supplier Relationship Management – 3-Day

Inicio Cursos Supplier Relationship Management – 3-Day

This comprehensive 3-day course is built around the Positive Purchasing Orchestra of SRM® model. It is designed to equip procurement practitioners to identify an organization’s most important suppliers and to unlock value and reduce risk from these.

Covering the Orchestra of SRM® and the 5A™ Strategic Collaborative Relationship Process, the course uses best-practice theory and effective tools to help your purchasing team secure greater value, performance, effectiveness, innovation and security from your key suppliers, while reducing supply chain risk. You’ll learn how to identify which suppliers matter the most and which are strategic, and you will be equipped with the tools and approaches to determine and effect the right interventions with the right suppliers.

The course’s concepts and techniques are delivered by highly experienced trainers who bring the ideas to life using a combination of inspirational tuition, facilitated debate, group work and case studies. Plus, the course content can be fully customized to the particular purchasing needs of your organization.

This SRM training course is the ideal complement to our 5i® Category Management and our Red Sheet® Negotiation training. Together, these courses deliver a complete strategic purchasing approach for your business.
