Learn how to properly asses vendors and ensure compliance with both the vendor and your company.
Everyone in procurement, or who is engaged with the selection of vendors, needs to know how to mitigate risk when dealing with vendors. This topic on vendor assessment will guide participants through the process of setting up a vendor responsibility review program. You will be given tools you can use to review vendors on various key risk factors. Besides drafting a vendor questionnaire, you will learn ways to evaluate and confirm the vendor information provided using a vendor assessment verification form. This information will provide guidance in establishing vendors that are responsible and responsive to the needs of the company or organization.
