Supply Chain and Logistics Management

Supply Management and Logistics Management play a significant role in maintaining business harmony, maintaining good relationships, and information, having a smooth flow within the business process and delivering good customer service.

The course will highlight some modern techniques of Project Management to implement in the supply management process. As research shows, Project Management and Supply Management are very similar; thus, we will learn the tools and techniques used to initiate, execute, manage and control the project.

Participants will learn how to analyse supply chain networks, identify potential bottlenecks, and implement strategies to improve overall supply chain performance. The course covers techniques for demand forecasting, inventory planning, and procurement management to ensure the timely availability of goods and services while minimising inventory holding costs.

Additionally, the course addresses the role of logistics management in optimizing transportation and distribution networks. Participants will gain insights into selecting the most cost-effective transportation modes, optimizing route planning, and leveraging technology to enhance visibility and tracking throughout the supply chain.
