Introduction:

Supply chain operations represent the structural foundation through which organizations coordinate material flows, information exchange, and service continuity across internal and external networks. Alignment with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) framework reflects internationally recognized professional standards governing efficiency, reliability, and operational governance within supply chains. This training program presents institutional models, operational structures, coordination frameworks, and performance governance principles that shape modern supply chain systems. It provides a structured perspective on how standardized operational alignment supports resilience, service quality, and strategic integration across logistics and supply chain environments.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

Analyze operational structures governing end-to-end supply chain systems.
Classify supply chain coordination models aligned with CILT professional standards.
Evaluate performance management frameworks used in operational supply chain control.
Assess risk governance and continuity structures within supply chain operations.
Explore institutional approaches to operational integration and service reliability.

Target Audience:

Supply chain and logistics managers.
Operations and distribution supervisors.
Procurement and inventory control professionals.
Transport and warehouse operations specialists.
Business planning and supply chain coordination officers.
