Because supply management professionals must ensure that contracts protect the interests of their organizations, the ability to understand contract clauses is a key skill. This seminar addresses many of the standard terms found in most contracts as well as the impact of electronic purchasing. Discussions include key terminology and clauses that you will be able to use when forming agreements with your suppliers. Extensive examples of contract language are provided. You are encouraged to bring your own contracts, clauses, and/or purchase orders for a hands-on review session.
