Supply Chain Management for Export Success
The business world has never been more global and more competitive. Enterprise dynamism and efficiency are today essential to success in the international marketplace.
​
A vital element of this success is being able to cost-effectively manage business supply chain processes. This requires mastering the capabilities to:
-
Secure reliable and timely access to essential inputs, including materials, components and services.
-
Efficiently manage internal material flows and production processes.
-
Deliver goods and services to customers on time and fully in tune with their requirements.
-
Ensure flexibility and responsiveness, total quality and the lowest possible total cost.
Effective management of resources, processes and relationships with suppliers, contractors and customers is therefore an essential task for every business. This can mean the difference between profit and loss, between success and failure.
Supply Chain Management Can Make the Difference
​
Supply chain management (SCM) costs often make up as much as 80% of an enterprise’s total expenditures. In this context, a 10% savings in supply chain operations can translate into a 60% increase in profit while maintaining or improving quality.
Achieving this means having trained and competent managers and professionals to devise and implement required processes.
​
To help your business – large or small – to meet these challenges, a professional training and certification programme has been developed specifically to provide state-of-the-art solutions: the Modular Learning System for Supply Chain Management (MLS-SCM). Administered by the International Trade Centre (ITC) – a joint agency of the United Nations and of the World Trade Organization – this course of study is delivered by ITC partner institutions in more than 40 countries.
Expertise to Help Your Business Prosper
​
Developed by a team of international supply chain experts, this programme contains modules covering every stage of the purchasing and SCM process. Training sessions are engineered to ensure practical, high-quality learning, with each module containing up-to-date educational tools and content.
Each component is updated regularly and new modules are being added in response to ever-changing requirements. Modules cover a broad range of topics from strategy-setting to managing relationships, operations and logistics. Understanding and applying these concepts can take your business to a higher level of performance.
Knowledge is Power
​
This programme can help you generate significant business improvements, such as increased market share and higher earnings. It can also improve your ability to meet growing demand for sustainability by taking key environmental, social and ethical considerations into account.
Skills and competencies you will master include:
-
Developing the right SCM strategies – including costing – for your business.
-
Tackling critical issues in your supply network.
-
Applying the best negotiation techniques.
-
Using the most suitable systems for managing operations and inventory.
-
Implementing effective purchasing, supply, logistics, and warehousing methods.
Establishing your SCM credentials can be a steppingstone to a satisfying career and enhances the corporate profile of companies of any size.
Globally Recognized Credentials
​
By completing specific modules and passing the corresponding exams, you can obtain an international certificate leading up to an international SCM diploma as part of the ITC professional certification programme. Course and exam fees, take account of local conditions to ensure affordability.
The ITC certification process consists of a flexible three-step approach that provides you with increasing professional recognition. It also offers the advantage of being recognised by other agencies operating globally such as the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) in
the United States, which accepts the ITC diploma in SCM as equivalent to its CPSM certification under a reciprocity agreement with ITC.
International surveys have shown that business executives are most concerned about keeping costs in line, ensuring access to information, managing risks, strengthening their customer relationships, and sustaining growth. MLS-SCM addresses these issues and many more. So whether you’re a long-time manager or just getting started, the flexibility of the MLS-SCM programme allows you to progress according to your own objectives, knowledge level and schedule.
The MLS-SCM is ISO 9001:2008 certified and this provides confidence and evidence to customers, partners and donors that it is managed in a professional and efficient manner and delivers a product that conforms to international standards.
The European Institute of Purchasing Management (EIPM) offers global add-on Master’s Degrees for MLS-SCM Diploma holders.
