Supply Chain Management (1hr)

Suppliers (trade creditors) are the lifeblood of all organisations whether they are supplying services like cleaning, maintenance or information technology or indeed supply labour and materials to enable products to be produced or contracts like building projects to be completed. The complex relationships between all the parties needs to be mapped as the financial supply chain could have serious cash gaps that could cause contractual delays, customer disenchantment and consequences around performance levels that could cause penalties to be incurred. This course will help you to understand what can be undertaken to reduce non-compliance issues, contractual penalties, supplier failure and deliver appropriate KPI and service level agreements.

On completion of this course you will:

• Understand the impacts of broken links in the supply chain
• Know how to manage scenarios to assist suppliers
• Learn about the types of financing available to suppliers.
