Are you struggling to improve your purchasing department?

Apply for a procurement skills benchmarking assessment

Let's face it. There are many demands on a purchasing leader's time. With all of the fires to put out, it is difficult to keep your staff up to date on the latest and most effective supply chain practices.

You want world-class performance from your department, but daily crises keep you from deciding how to:

  • Achieve more cost savings
  • Keep up with the skills of industry leaders
  • Continually improve performance
  • Make your department a better place to work

The good news is that purchasing departments don't need to be that way. Your purchasing department can be a center of excellence. And your first step towards excellence is Next Level Purchasing's new Purchasing's Assessment of Skills for Success (PASS) Program.

The PASS Program will give you a roadmap for greater success. After each of your staff members answers 56 multiple-choice questions online, you will get three valuable reports:

  1. A color-coded report showing you your department's and each of your team members' strengths and areas for improvement
  2. A benchmarking report to compare your department's skill levels and savings with industry statistics
  3. A written performance improvement plan customized to your needs and limitations.

"Next Level Purchasing enabled us to get focused on the strategies that we wanted to apply and that focus really helped us get the results we achieved this year. Knowledge and development is a very critical component of success that's often overlooked."

Bob Price, SPSM Director of Global Supply Chain Management after his sourcing team doubled their annual cost savings


If you supervise a group of four or more purchasing professionals, you may be eligible to enroll your team in the PASS Program for FREE.
