Purchasing policies, processes and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guide the activities of purchasing professionals and their business partners and provide a functional and moral compass. To ensure effectiveness, these documents must be aligned to the strategic intent and the broader environment of the organization. They must also be written using an appropriate language level and style.
In this course, we will demonstrate how to develop such policies, process flowcharts and SLAs in a simple, specific and appropriate style that meets the requirements of a modern organization. We will also illustrate how performance against processes and SLAs can be measured and analyzed for continuous improvement.
The Developing Purchasing Policies, Processes & SLAs training course will guide the participants through the development of appropriate procurement strategies, to creating the clear and measurable processes that will allow them to ensure that strategies are successfully implemented.
