Supply Chain and Logistics Management Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply supply chain principles to streamline procurement, inventory, and distribution processes.
• Analyse logistics networks to identify bottlenecks and recommend improvements.
• Evaluate supplier performance using key metrics and develop strategies for vendor management.
• Design integrated supply chain strategies that align with organisational goals.
• Implement inventory control techniques to minimise costs while maintaining service levels.
• Demonstrate proficiency in using logistics software for tracking and reporting.

Target Audience

This course is intended for supply chain managers, logistics coordinators, warehouse supervisors, and procurement professionals seeking to enhance their operational effectiveness.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. Basic understanding of business operations is beneficial.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals enable learners to apply theoretical concepts through simulations and hands-on exercises. They use software tools for inventory management, warehouse layout planning, transportation routing, and supply chain simulation to reinforce learning and develop decision-making skills.

Practical Activities

• Inventory Management Simulation — Learners use a spreadsheet-based simulation to manage inventory for a retail company, making decisions on order quantities and timing while tracking costs and service levels. (4h)
• Warehouse Layout and Design Exercise — Using a warehouse design software or manual layout tools, learners design an efficient warehouse layout for a given product range and order profile. (4h)
• Transportation Route Optimisation — Learners solve a vehicle routing problem (VRP) using optimisation software or online tools to minimise distance and cost while meeting customer delivery windows. (4h)
• Supply Chain Simulation Game — In teams, learners manage a multi-echelon supply chain using a simulation game (e.g., Beer Game or similar), making decisions on ordering, production, and distribution to minimise costs and avoid stockouts. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
