About this course
This two day course has been developed to build upon the Understanding course and enable you to develop appropriate purchasing requirements, supplier evaluation and selection methods necessary to demonstrate effective control over the supply chain. Concentrating upon the establishment of quality and technical agreements, the course outlines the importance of supplier evaluation and re-evaluation and provides a solid basis for establishing robust procedures in the field of supplier control.
Who Should Attend
If you are working with critical suppliers and subcontractors this course is one of a kind in that it provides you with the necessary requirements for how to suitably select, specify, qualify and monitor the supply chain. If you are a virtual manufacturer you will find this course particularly useful.
