♦️♦️ From the American Purchasing Society, USA:

▫️ A keen understanding of sourcing and procurement cost takeout is very important at the strategic level. 

▫️ One needs to identify where an organization can consolidate spend, use enterprise leverage to negotiate lower unit cost, and then direct the users to purchase from the new enterprise contract. ▫️ However, in a large global institution, with a fair degree of autonomy in the business units, these tasks can be very difficult to implement. 

▫️ Many a time, companies use leading practices in isolated pockets throughout the enterprise. 

▫️ The CPPM is an advanced course where the skills of Purchase Managers are honed and they develop an insight into the challenges of the industry that they are engaged in. 

▫️ Complex problem solving, case studies and much more await Purchase Managers at this level of certification. 

▫️ Certification is crucial towards becoming a world-class purchasing professional. 

▫️ Today’s employers refuse to reward employees for yesterday’s skills. They demand that purchasing professionals should use most modern skills and achieve unprecedented results. 

▫️ They want purchasing professionals to save more money, achieve better operational performance, and reduce risk.
