Training description
Purchasing tasks require a wide range of skills. A successful buyer is able to pay attention to all aspects of a procurement. A solution based solely on price is often not the best option. Managing the whole is key.
In the bidding process and negotiations, in addition to costs, you must also pay attention to the supplier's delivery reliability, negotiable order and payment terms, logistical solutions, and, for example, be able to communicate with different types of personalities. Only by managing the procurement process as a whole can you make competitive choices for the company in the long term.
Our basic purchasing course provides a comprehensive overview of the broad field of purchasing. The training improves understanding and management of the entire purchasing process and provides tools for developing your own work and the company's operations.
