To succeed and excel in modern procurement on an on-going basis, it is
imperative that an organisation be able to manage its pool of suppliers. The
shift to outsourcing within many sectors of industry further supports this
necessity, and has significantly transformed the role of procurement to a highly
corporate one. The ability to manage suppliers not only ensures that cost,
quality and reliability are not compromised, but fosters an alliance that enables
the organisation to extract and manage value for greater sustainability. This
workshop is designed at providing participants with the necessary skills and
tools to manage their suppliers in an effective manner.
