Two key features of all supply chains are procurement and inventory management. Stock needs to be acquired then effectively and efficiently managed so that the requirements of internal or external customers can be met. The aim of this unit is, therefore, to develop a learner’s understanding of the role these related functions in a cost effective and resource efficient supply chain.

Unit 3 – Contract and Financial Management
Due to the complexity of supply chains it is necessary to have in place effective contract and financial management arrangements. The aim of this unit is to help learners explore the importance to those who manage supply chains of, initially, ensuring there are no contractual or financial weak leaks which could have a negative impact, whilst helping to ensure all contract and financial arrangements benefit the supply chain being managed.

Unit 4 – Global Context of Supply Chains
The continuing evolution and expansion of globalisation has resulted in supply chains becoming more complex and diverse due to the concept that the world is a smaller place in a business and economic context. The aim of this unit is to locate in the minds of learners the key globalisation factors which impact supply chains and how global supply chains can be established and managed.

Unit 5 – Principles and Concepts of Supply Chain Management
It does not matter whether a business’s supply chain is located in the same country or extends into a global environment, the principles and concepts of supply chain management (SCM) remain the same. The aim of this unit is to introduce key supply chain management (SCM) concepts and principles which will help learners to understand how to lead and manage the complexities and barriers associated with supply chains.

Unit 6 – Contemporary Issues in Supply Chain Management
The environment in which supply chains exist are constantly changing. However, there are external factors which dominate how contemporary supply chains are managed. The aim of this unit is to introduce these factors so that learners gain a greater appreciation of the relationship between supply chains and technology, the natural environment, global economies and risk management.
