The goal of the Logistics & Supply Chain Management Micro-credentialing Program
is to foster economic advancement and workforce development through the strategic and intentional introduction to the context of procurement, logistics, and supply.
Overview of Logistics & Supply Chain Management Micro-credentialing Program
Logistics, Procurement and Supply Chain Management are vital aspects of the economy. It is a field projected to grow 30% in the next 10 years. But very few people understand what these terms involve. Here is a brief explanation of the industry:
In order for a company to make a profit, the cost of procuring goods and services must be less than the amount it can sell the goods for, minus whatever costs are associated with processing and selling them. The goal of procurement management is to ensure that the company (i.e. the buyer) receives goods, services, or works at the best possible price.
To do this effectively, a procurement manager must assess factors like quality, quantity, time, and location on a continual basis, along with negotiating to find the best available pricing (and therefore savings) for the company.
Logistics focuses on the movement and storage of items in the supply chain.
Supply chain management (SCM) is more comprehensive, covering all of the coordination between partners that have a role in this network, including sourcing, manufacturing, transporting, storing and selling. The ultimate goal of SCM is to develop processes that ensure a smooth, efficient flow of goods that give customers an excellent experience and drive the business forward. While supply chain management handles activities between separate entities, logistics focuses on the internal movement of goods.
