About the programme
Course Overview
In today’s competitive and compliance-driven business environment, organizations must adopt internationally recognized standards to ensure efficiency, transparency, and quality in procurement and inventory management. ISO standards—such as ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 20400 (Sustainable Procurement), and ISO 55000 (Asset Management)—provide structured frameworks that help institutions streamline operations, reduce risks, and enhance accountability.
Implementing these standards in procurement and inventory processes ensures that purchasing decisions are aligned with strategic goals, supplier relationships are managed ethically, and inventory is controlled with precision. This 5-day workshop is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and tools to apply ISO standards effectively in their procurement and inventory systems.
Through interactive sessions, case studies, and practical exercises, participants will learn how to design compliant workflows, conduct audits, manage documentation, and drive continuous improvement. By the end of the program, attendees will be prepared to lead ISO-aligned initiatives that elevate operational performance and institutional credibility.
