Gain an integrated view of supply operations: manage supply contracts, register and evaluate vendors, and run warehouse receipt, storage and inventory control so materials arrive and are controlled reliably.
In many organizations, contracts, vendors and warehouses are managed by different teams, and problems arise where their work meets: late deliveries, wrong materials, disputed invoices and stock that nobody can find. This course takes an operational view of the supply process, linking supply contracts and purchase agreements with vendor management and warehouse control. It covers contract administration for supply agreements, vendor registration and evaluation, receiving and inspection, storage, inventory control and the performance measures that connect all three areas.
The course uses workflow mapping, case studies and practical exercises such as designing a vendor evaluation scorecard, resolving a delivery discrepancy against contract terms and analyzing inventory data to identify slow-moving stock. Participants leave with a joined-up approach that reduces handover errors between functions. It is delivered as a classroom or live online program in Doha, and can run as an in-house program for organizations that want to address their own supply processes, systems and performance issues.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Administer supply contracts and purchase agreements, including delivery and acceptance terms
Register, qualify and segment vendors using clear, consistent criteria
Evaluate vendor performance with scorecards covering quality, delivery and service
Control warehouse receipt, inspection, storage and issue of materials

Qatar imports a large share of the materials, equipment and consumables its industries use, so dependable vendors, clear supply contracts and well-run warehouses are essential to keeping operations moving. Energy, construction, healthcare and facilities management organizations in Doha hold significant inventories of critical spares and supplies. Better coordination between contracts, vendors and stores reduces delays and waste, and supports the efficient, resilient supply capability that Qatar continues to develop as part of its long-term national vision.
