Supplier Relationship Management Course
This supplier relationship management training course will help organisations improve their supplier performance, reduce costs, and mitigate supply chain risk, leading to improved operational efficiency and greater competitive advantage.
About the Course
Supplier relationships are critical to any enterprise that has significant spending with external providers. Leading companies have realised that it is vital to make sure these relationships are managed well – at corporate and interpersonal levels.
Your organisation’s brand in the market as a customer of choice accelerates competition and lowers costs. Conversely, having a negative reputation has the opposite effect.
This supplier relationship management course starts at the most strategic level. It shows you how to categorise your suppliers by configuration structures, importance, as well as how they view your organisation. We then explore relationships that span many people over long periods, and gain experience in key tools.
During our next challenge in the course, we determine how to measure the success of your supplier relationships using the Contract Scorecard. It is not enough just to have a good relationship; your organisation must derive value from it.
Who Will Benefit
This course is for those responsible for supplier relationships, as well as those wanting to develop strategic relationships, including:
- Supplier/vendor relationship managers
- Category managers
- Business, project, and contract managers
- Operations personnel involved with third parties
- Procurement and legal
Key Learning Objectives
- Be able to categorise your suppliers to understand the different relationships
- Know the business-to-business relationship and network from a corporate perspective
- Plan an effective relationship from start to finish – before you’ve selected any suppliers as well as when they leave
- Determine and track the value of suppliers using the Contract Scorecard
- Have your personal conflict management style profiled and benchmarked, and see how the styles can affect your team and relationships with providers
