Purchasing Management and Techniques

It is a training where purchasing is examined at a basic level. It identifies the buyer’s day-to-day problems and provides as much practical information as possible. It serves to standardize the way buyers at each level express themselves about purchasing. It is aimed to equip the participants with the knowledge that will enable them to have the mindset to create new procurement strategies, to perform procurement activities more effectively, to realize long-term “win together” based commercial relationships with suppliers and to provide speed and cost advantages to the organization they work for.

Who Should Attend
