Training description
Purchasing is one of the most interdisciplinary fields in the company. It sits in a crossroad of several workflows, requiring broad skills set in managing buyer's work queue on short and long term basis.
Typical day of a buyer is full of interruptions, sudden tasks and requests to perform actions with “yesterday” deadline.
Buyer has to plan his/her daily agenda very carefully on one hand to be able to deliver own KPIs and on the other hand to support internal business partners and keep service level high.
This workshop equips team of buyers with skills and tools to better manage Buying Center, which they belong to.
