Managing Suppliers to Leverage More

Workshop Description

Supplier management is best described as an ongoing process that minimises the risks associated with purchasing goods, materials and services.

It ensures that products and services are more likely to meet agreed requirements from the point of first delivery and will continue to do so during their operational life. In the unlikely event that the product or service does not perform to its agreed requirements then corrective action can be implemented promptly.
