A Program designed specifically to produce trained PROFESSIONALS IN THE ESSENTIAL FUNCTION OF PURCHASING/RESOURCING
Whether an enterprise is involved in manufacturing, distribution or service-providing, the function of purchasing - or “buying” - on its behalf is a job for professionals. Proficient purchasing can greatly increase the efficiency, the competitiveness and the profitability of a business; but unwise buying can seriously damage its operations, its reputation and its profit levels.
