Purchasing & Procurement (SCM02)

    Description

    Procurement integrates several functions aiming at supplying a company (requester) with goods from a vendor at the point of origin to the final destination point.
    In the oil & gas industry this final destination point may be an isolated/remote area of difficult access. This makes the Procurement process an essential element of operational Supply Chain efficiency.
    In addition, the Purchasing function, which is part of the Procurement process, is at the origin of very huge cost implications: savings or over spending in an industry investing billions of dollars in industrial projects.
    Purchasing is therefore a strategic function to create added value for any company.

    This course provides a thorough understanding of the Procurement process and ways to optimise its efficiency through recommended practices and exercises.
