September 22, 2009
It’s a frequent mistake to assume that sourcing is a piece of cake. Since the huge number of suppliers and their strong ambition to export, the cliché of sourcing’s easiness is strongly nurtured. However, the truth is completely different, causing serious problems for purchasing managers: wrong deliveries, deliveries out of time, lack of quality, disappearing suppliers… just to mention a few.
Graduates of this course will have a good understanding of all sourcing aspects, helping them to prevent problems:
- Preparing for purchasing (internal organisation, planning…)
- Cooperation with foreign suppliers (selection of suppliers, exercising control on the suppliers)
- How to deal with the sourcing risks?
- Hidden costs and defining the real cost of sourcing
- Logistics and marketing issues
- Negotiating issues
- Contract management
- Due diligence
- …
As China tops the list of favourite countries for sourcing and purchasing, the necessary attention will be paid to this country of origin.
