International Supply Chain Management
International supply chain management has become a key driver in the function of most Institutions. It encompasses the relationship between suppliers, processors and customers, and also includes the disciplines of materials management, procurement, logistics and transport. Supply chain management involves transport operators, freight and logistics operators, finance provision and liaison with external and government authorities such as Tax Authorities, Customs and Border Controls. It includes risk management and financial management as well as materials and warehouse management. It has become such a massive and complex area that it affects all areas of international business and therefore demands a high level of understanding and awareness. This course is designed to address all these needs and requirements, and will therefore equip the participants in all relevant areas of supply chain management to prepare them to dealing with and handling the changes in international business and the ever-increasing globalisation of the business community.
