ONLINE: Purchasing (SCM902)
Description
A few decades ago, the Purchasing function in an oil & gas company was seen only as a Procurement function, being in charge of supplying goods and services defined by the end user. Over the years, the Purchasing function has proven to be a powerful leverage of savings and cost reduction.
In the energy sector, where production sites are spread everywhere and sometimes in very isolated areas, Purchasing & Procurement have also the mission to secure the supply of high-tech equipment which will travel all over the world before being installed offshore or in remote areas.
These two objectives - cost saving and security of supply - make the Purchasing & Procurement process a strategic function and an essential segment of the Supply Chain as it drives the other steps of the chain.
Course Structure: 8 modules of max. 2 hours each, delivered over 4 days
Each day will consist of 2 x 2 hour modules including a 30 min. break in between.
Course Level: Skill
Duration: 4 days
Instructor: Paul Adrian or Pierre Lhermitte
