(3 day workshop)
May & September, 1999
Objectives
An average commercial enterprise disposes of more than half of its income on materials,
supplies and services. A five percent saving in material costs in a business organisation
can thus equate with an increase in turnover of 25%. Effective purchasing is therefore the
key to the overall profitability of a business. This three day course is designed for all
those organisations that need to inject professional and profit oriented purchasing
practices into their procurement section.
The focus of the workshop will also include purchasing and its functional relationships in
the achievement of corporate objectives. It will enable participants to be more effective
in their responsibilities by:
Learning how, where and what to buy in order to strategically meet the operational
requirements of the business.
Developing vital skills in ordering, vendor selection, negotiation and the evaluation of
purchasing performance.
Learning alternative methods of maximising purchasing's contribution to the organisation's
profitability.
Participants
This course is suitable for people whose position entails elements of purchasing. It is
ideal for a diversity of organisations including the public sector, private companies,

institutions.

opportunity for questions and discussion sessions. A variety of role plays and case
studies will be used to make the sessions participative.
