Logisticians are constantly striving to achieve success in their supply chain management through operation efficiency at its lowest cost. Over the years, logisticians have widely implemented or Performance Based Contracting (PBC) initiatives to achieve the desired efficiency through the concept of ‘buying’ vendors’ performance. However, while some practitioners have seen the successes of PBC, some witnessed failures in its implementation as well.

Often, misconceptions on PBC cause inconsistent application of successful PBC initiatives. As PBC stresses upon the importance of rewarding vendors based on their performance, often there is a mismatch of expectations between clients and service providers. Additionally, some practitioners are unsure on writing good performance indicators to measure and motivate vendors’ performance.

The 3 + 1 day training course is designed for project managers or executives who are constantly looking for ways to improve their supply chain management and driving high vendors’ performance. This course will use actual case studies to illustrate important PBC ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ to ensure practicality of lesson.
