This advanced training course provides a strategic and practical framework for procurement and supply chain management in the oil and gas industry. It focuses on aligning procurement strategies, sourcing decisions, supplier relationships, contracting activities, materials planning, logistics, and supply chain performance with operational requirements and long-term business objectives.
