Across all sectors, it’s becoming increasingly rare for businesses to achieve true independence.  Today, even the smallest firms are heavily reliant on third-party suppliers and service providers. It’s never been easier or more convenient to source products and services from all over the world, but the supply chain activities that facilitate such collaborations can be highly complex.  Supply chain efficiency plays a direct role in the performance and profitability of almost every business worldwide.  If a single link within the supply chain underperforms, it compromises the entire operation.  Precisely why employers and decisionmakers are constantly on the lookout for talented supply chain management personnel, tasked with overseeing the performance and efficiency of all supply chain activities. Exclusive to CPD Courses, this endorsed Level 7 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management is suitable for newcomers and experienced personnel alike. Learn how to take confident and decisive control of all major supply chain activities, working in your own time with no deadlines imposed.  Build a detailed understanding of how supply chains work, the benefits of a strong supply chain and the activities that take place at each stage of the supply chain.  Additional key topics covered include logistics and supply chain management, procurement operations, transport management, human resource management, inventory management and many more besides.
