JWJ Consultancy Ltd has the ability to design and develop a purchasing and supply management course which is bespoke to your own specific business.

In 2004 whilst at the University of Cambridge we developed a framework course which was designed to support SME’s and larger multinational companies. Details of this course can be found by following the link on the left hand side of this page

This framework was based around three modules and its aim was to provide the tools , techniques and knowledge to enable purchasing buyers, managers and directors to not only improve the efficiency of their existing supply chain operations but to save money by more effective sourcing, purchasing and materials management. 

Some possible topics for courses: -

• Managing your supply base
• Purchasing from the Far East
• Managing Supplier relationships
• Stock management
• Lean manufacturing
• Purchasing strategy
• Effective purchasing structures
• Total supply chain management
• ABC analysis
• Developing NPI processes
• Project management
• Purchasing performance
• MRP (Materials Requirements Planning)
• Stock reduction methods
• Outsourcing - Make or Buy

We are able to design a course that would cover any of the above subject combinations along with the general content from the existing course “Purchasing and Supply Management for SME’s”. This could also include organisational specific information that would apply to your own business.

There is the potential that for small and medium sized organisations the modules could form part of a cost savings programme where candidates develop their own plans and projects during the course itself as part of their course activities.

We design and deliver courses that will enable your staff to make a real difference by applying the tools and techniques they have learnt. We have a very flexible and novel approach to course design.
