Course Overview
Inventory and procurement are deeply interconnected: poor inventory visibility drives inefficiencies, while weak procurement decisions inflate costs. Modern supply chains demand data-driven analysis to strike the right balance between availability, cost, and risk.
This Inventory Data Analysis & Smart Procurement Decisions Training Course provides participants with the analytical skills and strategic frameworks needed to align inventory management with procurement strategies. Participants will explore forecasting, demand planning, supplier performance analysis, and digital procurement tools.
Through hands-on exercises, simulations, and case studies, participants will learn how to use data to reduce excess stock, avoid shortages, and negotiate smarter with suppliers. By the end of the course, they will be prepared to build procurement strategies that optimize both financial and operational performance.
