Every industry, from pharmaceuticals and medical devices to manufacturing and biotech, relies on efficient supply chains to stay competitive and deliver value. 

This micro-credential introduces the core concepts and terminology of supply chain management, helping you understand how to design and optimise the flow of goods, services, and information. 

Delivered over five weeks at Level 7, the module focuses on the SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model, an industry-standard framework for analysing supply chain performance.  

You’ll learn how to map processes, identify improvement opportunities, and build a strong foundation for further study or career development in logistics and operations. 

This micro-credential is ideal for professionals working or seeking employment in technology-rich industries, including managers who want to reinforce their experience with an academic qualification in supply chain management.
