Theme

Industrial purchasers are primarily trained on the job and learn about the technical, commercial and managerial aspects by overcoming difficulties on their own or learning from the experienced colleagues. There are numerous commercial, technical and managerial norms and nuances the fresher may take years to understand. Also, in absence of appropriate guidance the understanding may be incomplete or worse still, incorrect. This calls for structured inputs on essentials of - 

·         Purchasing process and administration

·         Documents, records and information

·         Assessment of vendors

·         Contract and contracting including evaluation of bids

·         Technology in purchasing

·         Interpersonal and correspondence skills with ethics

·         Performance expectations and job profile

Purchasing professionals require unique combination of knowledge and skills spanning technology, management, people skills, costs, commerce and regulations. The program spans the breadth with basic inputs on the practical aspects of know-how and fundamental principles.

The unique features of the package involve the ground level appreciation of information and document management, communication and time management. At personal level the program seeks to develop understanding of their job profiles and key performance issues. The purchasing job has changed over the years and the value addition and decision making skills are very important. Program covers it throughout various sessions with practical examples and stories.

Impact of information technology in purchasing goes far beyond improving office efficiency, which it has at system and personal level.
