Supply Management Fundamentals

-Competitive Bidding Processes

When the decision is made to outsource, supply managers must create solicitations that enhance competition amongst suppliers to ensure the greatest value to their organization. Determining the most effective acquisition strategy, effective sourcing, and proposer evaluation and selection are critical factors in the decision-making process. This two-day workshop is designed to provide participants with the necessary tools to effectively prepare various forms of solicitations (including qualitative and quantitative), evaluate responses, and select to the most qualified supplier.

Market Research

Market research is a fundamental and essential function in supply management and can be as simple as getting information from the end user or a colleague in the next cubicle; to as complex as collecting data for analysis of a product’s chemical composition, material stress tolerances, design engineering standards, or various other cost factors.

This one-day workshop is designed for individuals involved in the procurement process (including buyers and end users) and will provide practical guidance for conducting market research for goods and services. Participants will be able to distinguish the various types of market research; determine the Why, When, Who, and How components of market research.

Contract Negotiations

Contract negotiations is perhaps one of the most misunderstood functions of a supply manager’s duties. In its simplest form, contract negotiations require that the supply manager obtain the specified quality, at a reasonable price, from the most qualified supplier. The nuances of contract negotiations are simplified when the supply manager takes the appropriate steps in advance of the negotiation meeting(s). This one-day workshop will help participants to articulate their interest(s); identify options and alternatives; and build long term relationships with qualified suppliers.

The 3 P’s – Policy, Process, Procedure

In our fast-paced world of commerce and routine business transactions, we usually don’t have time to stop to think about why we do what we do. Let alone, how it may impact our co-workers or other parts of the organization. Understanding the distinctions and interdependence between policies, processes, and procedures (3Ps) will help to minimize errors, reduce procurement cycle time and improve customer-supplier relationships.

This dynamic interactive workshop will help participants describe the characteristics that distinguish each of the 3Ps, describe the relationship between each of the 3Ps that creates an interdependence, identify the Key factors necessary to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, and identify the need for continuous review and improvement.
