Cebu Public Seminar | Strategic Procurement: Turning Purchasing Decisions into Organizational Value

Procurement is more than securing the lowest price. Effective procurement requires a strategic approach that balances cost, quality, supplier reliability, and organizational needs.

In Cebu, Quality Plus Management Consulting Co. conducted a public seminar on Strategic Procurement, attended by seven participants and facilitated by QPlus President, Engr. Henry O. Palaca in Cebu last October 22, 2026 at the Harolds Hotel in Cebu City.
