Why Choose this Qualification
Whether you are looking to optimise complex inventory systems, manage operational risks, or lead public sector procurement, the National Certificate: Supply Chain Management equips you with the end-to-end competencies required for modern supply chain execution.
The qualification develops the competencies you need to engage in supply chain processes and relationships that create sustainable value for your organisation, moving beyond a traditional functional approach towards integrated supply chain management that benefits every stakeholder.
It is aligned to the public sector supply chain management competency profiles developed by National Treasury, while remaining equally relevant to supply chain roles in the private sector.
On completion, you will be able to:
- Understand the supply chain management environment within your organisation
- Understand how performance and risk influence a supply chain management environment
- Contribute to the development of a supply chain strategy and operational plans
- Manage the execution of your organisation’s supply chain strategy
