Supply Chain Risk Management Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply risk management frameworks to identify and categorize supply chain risks.
• Analyze the impact of internal and external risk factors on supply chain performance.
• Evaluate risk mitigation strategies and select appropriate controls.
• Design contingency plans to ensure business continuity during disruptions.
• Implement risk monitoring and reporting mechanisms within the supply chain.
• Demonstrate the ability to communicate risk assessment findings to stakeholders.

Target Audience

Supply chain managers, logistics coordinators, procurement officers, and operations professionals seeking to strengthen their risk management capabilities in a corporate or industrial setting.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, a basic understanding of supply chain operations is beneficial.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practicals reinforce risk assessment, mitigation, and continuity planning through hands-on exercises. Learners apply tools to real-world scenarios, building competence in risk identification, analysis, and response.

Practical Activities

• Risk Identification Workshop — Learners work in groups to identify risks for a given supply chain case study using brainstorming and checklists. (4h)
• Risk Assessment and Heat Map Exercise — Using qualitative scales, learners assess likelihood and impact of identified risks and plot them on a heat map. (4h)
• Mitigation Strategy Development — Learners design mitigation plans for the top risks, including controls and contingency actions. (4h)
• Business Continuity Tabletop Exercise — Facilitated simulation of a supply chain disruption; learners execute the BCP and make real-time decisions. (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
