As a procurement professional, you deal with demanding customers and a highly competitive sales market on a daily basis. The performance of your suppliers has a significant influence on customer satisfaction and your market position. Procurement is extremely important: your business performance depends directly on the performance of your suppliers. And you play a key role too, in effectively tackling the complex task of managing the procurement chain and maximising the benefit you get from it. You are also dependent on new technologies, changing market conditions, and specialist suppliers, all of which represent an ongoing challenge. Do you want to make the best possible strategic choices in this field of influence? If so, you can take advantage of the unique expertise offered by knowledge authority Nevi in the five-day course on Procurement in Industry & FMCG.
You’ve been working in procurement for a while, and now you want to develop further in your field. No matter whether you’re in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals or FMCG, you’ll find the challenges are very similar. Where are the possible disruptions in the supply chain? What can you control yourself? How do you identify opportunities and possibilities, both internally and in the chain? And how do you seize those opportunities right away? The course both brings you up to date with the latest developments in procurement within the industry, and provides you with tools you can immediately put to use in practice. We focus specifically on the field of influence throughout the chain, and also on your role in the organisation as a whole. As a procurement professional, you’ll learn how to adopt a proactive, decisive attitude and connect internal and external forces.
Nevi’s profound insight into the market and the business provides the foundation to this fascinating learning process. We will use value chain mapping to demonstrate how disruptions arise in quality, logistics or delivery time, and how you can prevent this happening. You’ll learn to take a proactive stance in an end-2-end approach, focused on your many internal and external stakeholders. There are good returns to be achieved through this approach. For example, smart collaboration with engineers and product specialists is essential if you want to get the best out of the innovative opportunities offered by the market. This will enable you to make your contribution to the organisation more visible. The course also provides inspiration for innovation that enables you to strengthen your competitive position and reduce risks.
The course is comprised of 4 tracks. You begin this course with the basic track: Procurement in Industry & FMCG. Then you decide for yourself the order in which to follow the rest of the tracks. Each of the tracks can be taken individually, but it is more cost-efficient to order them all at once.

In your everyday work, you often find yourself putting out fires. This five-day course will give you the chance to reflect on structural solutions, creating opportunities for innovation, and strengthening collaborations. The theoretical knowledge that the course provides will help you to translate purposeful strategy into effective practice. You’ll learn to develop a vision for more effective procurement, based on business objectives. The in-depth tracks also cover the many practical challenges you encounter in your industry: complex chains with trade barriers, international legislation and regulations, incoterms and the risks and consequences associated with import duties. Each disruption in the supply chain affects customer satisfaction and business performance, so we also focus on optimising contingency planning. During the course, you’ll discover that there are many as yet unexploited opportunities in this area. Because it can often be a challenge to promote new insights to your stakeholders internally, we also cover outside-in thinking. This will put you in an even better position to assume your role and perform it effectively for the business and your suppliers, so that you immediately deliver added value.
