There are many examples of companies that have supplier performance programmes ranging from listing the ‘top and bottom ten’ suppliers in visitor reception areas through to fully integrated information / data exchange using systems implementation and job sharing. Few, however, are fully satisfied with their suppliers’ performance.
Course content:
In this seminar we investigate the types of supplier relationships within organisations and how to segment the supply base to manage their performance to meet your business needs. We look at what to expect and measure in a supplier relationship, as well as outlining how to approach implementing this methodology.
We will use case studies to highlight potential benefits as well as the ‘do’s and don’ts’ of successful implementations. We then go on to look at tools and techniques for managing the relationship and driving continuous improvement. Through interactive small group discussions and exercises we will encourage delegates to share their experiences and to map out next steps for their supplier relationship programme.
