Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Negotiation in Production training objectives

  • Master the 2026 Production Negotiation training to secure volume and price agreements with strategic suppliers
  • Map stakeholders and calculate BATNA and ZOPA on a real production line case

  • Conduct multi-round negotiation simulations with feedback on concessions
  • Measure the financial impact of signed agreements via margin and service dashboards
  • Integrate supply disruption risks into annual negotiation plans

Program

Negotiation in Production curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Production Negotiation 2026 - Stakeholder Analysis (BATNA, ZOPA, Power)

Participants map the actors in a supplier negotiation on an automotive assembly line, calculate their real BATNA, and identify the ZOPA from the transmitted cost data. They then build a power matrix and test three concession scenarios on a quantified case.

Module 2 : Building Mandates and Reserves (Concession Matrix, Walk-Away)

Using the previous day's case, participants define their internal mandate, minimum reserves, and hard points. They develop a prioritized concession matrix and simulate a first round of negotiation with a fictional supplier of critical components.

Module 3 : Production Negotiation 2026 - Indexed Clauses and Risk Management (Indices, Penalties)

Participants draft indexation clauses based on steel and copper prices, incorporate late-delivery penalties, and adapt force majeure clauses to production needs. Each clause is tested in simulation to assess its impact on final margin.

Module 4 : Multi-Round Simulations and Objection Handling (Roles, Feedback)

In pairs, participants conduct three complete rounds of negotiation on an annual volume contract. Each session is filmed and debriefed on non-verbal signals, silences, and concessions granted. A synthesis deliverable is produced by each team.

Module 5 : Post-Negotiation Dashboards and Improvement Plan (KPI, Review)

Teams present their final agreement to the group and measure the gap with the initial objective using a margin and service rate dashboard. A personal 90-day improvement plan is drafted and validated by the trainer.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Negotiation in Production training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
