Supply Chain Management Courses
In today’s complex world of supply chain management, there are varying degrees of skills and expertise. Managing your supply chain needs is a matter of Planning, Procurement, and Warehousing the materials needs of your organization. Planning what items your organization needs (raw materials to convert or products to sell). After identifying needed materials, the Procurement function is a process of identifying suppliers to provide those materials and purchasing those materials. As those materials are received, they need to be stored to keep the materials safe until they are processed for use. Each of these functions has its own skill requirements and these courses provide entry skills (though, even seasoned professionals can benefit from these courses).
The Supply Chain Procurement Certificate program is a foundational education program designed to help both entry-level and experienced supply chain professionals expand their procurement knowledge and skills. This course will strengthen the participant’s knowledge of procurement and develop and improve skills in sourcing materials and services.
