The Procurement function has developed from a simple administrative function to a fully-fledged strategic business unit. No longer is it sufficient to simply turn requisitions into orders and then await the delivery of the goods or services. It is therefore imperative for Procurement to constantly deliver value to the organization by delivering products and services that contributes to the well-being of the organization. In order to do this, Best Practices have to be implemented on four levels:
- Strategic

- Contingency
This IRES Procurement training seminar will address the necessary conditions at all four levels for those delegates who want to implement high-performing Procurement functions.
