In today’s rapidly evolving economy rarely you will find companies safe from cost pressures. Although the problem is significant and it greatly affects the budgets of
purchasing departments still many companies lack a systematic or structured approach to managing cost. In the face of cost pressures, they slash advertising, cut travel, restrict non-essential expenditure and even start cutting back on critical activities such as research and development.
The key to successful cost management is a more systematic and structured approach, which focuses on significant elements of cost to deal with underlying cost-contributory factors, without reducing the value created within the organisation.
Effective Cost Management In Purchasing is a course that will provide you with tools which can be used to analyse cost and identify opportunities in purchasing to make dramatic cost savings to an organisation, not affecting its marketing, productivity or morale. The same tools can be used to stretch budgets further, to safeguard profitability and to keep businesses competitive.
Through five days of lectures, case studies, discussions and interactive exercise, you will hear about the latest innovative approaches in cost management taken by world class organisations. More importantly at the end of the course you will realise how much potential is in your purchasing to dramatically reduce costs and you will develop an effective approach to put that potential.
Your expert course leader, Eric Evans, will explore initiatives which deliver step change improvements and operational approaches in purchasing which have been proven to have a stunning impact on costs. The approaches demonstrated have all been used successfully by leading edge organisations around the world. /effectivepurchasing/images/spkr-erice.gif
