At the end of this training programme participants will be able to:

Understand why organisations need to control supplier costs
Understand the difference between cost and price, and what drives pricing in supply markets
Learn a range of cost control techniques to improve an organisation’s cost performance
Learn how to optimise value as a function of cost
Understand the difference between cost containment, cost avoidance and achieving savings

Those who are new to working in a purchasing environment with little or no purchasing experience; those who would like to review their existing skills in developing and optimising purchasing capability in buying and purchasing management roles; and those outside of the purchasing function (e.g. budget holders and finance professionals) who are stakeholders in the purchasing process.

Prior to the course, delegates will be asked to identify areas of spend for which they have direct or indirect responsibility in order to be able to work through real case examples during the programme.
