Logistics and Supply Chain Management Training examines the tools, core processes, and initiatives that ensure businesses gain and maintain their competitive advantage.

Course Description


  • Learn industry recommended business writing procedures and best practices.
  • Learn from a professional with 30+ years business experience.

Logistics is the process of strategically managing the procurement, movement and storage of materials, parts and finished inventory (and the related information flows) through the organization and its marketing channels in such a way that current and future profitability are maximized through the cost-effective fulfillment of orders.

Supply chain management is a wider concept than logistics. Logistics is essentially a planning orientation and framework that seeks to create a single plan for the flow of products and information through a business. Supply chain management builds on this framework and seeks to achieve linkage and coordination between the processes of other entities in the pipeline, i.e. suppliers and customers, and the organization itself.

The focus of supply change management is on cooperation and trust and the recognition that, properly manage, the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. It is the management of upstream and downstream relationships with suppliers and customers in order to deliver superior customer value at less cost to the supply chain as a whole to achieve a more profitable outcome for all parties in the chain. The narrow self-interest of one party has to be set aside for the benefit of the chain as a whole.

Effective development and management of your supply chain network will cut your costs and enhance your customer value through supplier relationship management. This is a sustainable source of advantage in today’s turbulent marketplace, where demand is difficult to predict and supply chains need to be more flexible as a result.

The real competition today is not between companies, but between supply chains. The winning approach to supply chains is an integrated perspective that takes account of networks of relationships, sustainability, and product design, as well as the logistics of procurement, distribution, and fulfillment.

Logistics and Supply Chain Management Training  examines the tools, core processes, and initiatives that ensure businesses gain and maintain their competitive advantage.

This class will benefit the supply chain manager as well as the logistics manager.
