Supply Chain Excellence

Once upon a time, trade caravans ventured to lands far away in pursuit of new markets, where they could trade goods
and valuables for profit. Handling of cash flow, capacity and inventory were the key factors. Forecasting was pretty much
an art. Daunting lead times and bottlenecks were abound. A lot depended on trust and good relations. Sounds familiar?
Welcome to the world of modern supply chain management. Luckily, there are skills and tools that distinguish winners
from also-rans. CISCOM is the FIRST to offer Supply Chain Management and Operations Management skills in a single,
integrated training program.

Competitive Supply Chain

It is understood within the marketplace that successful business practices must no longer depend on a one dimensional
approach to management of resources. In order to achieve and maintain a competitive edge, today’s businesses must
manage costs in all sectors, by increasing efficiencies within the overall supply chain.
CISCOM – Certified in Supply Chain & Operations Management combines the Supply Chain Management and Operations
Management body of knowledge into a single, integrated training program, helping businesses achieve continuous
improvement in delivering value to the customer.

Balancing the 4 Cs of Supply Chain

Training focuses on the following drivers of supply chain performance:
Customer Service: This is the lead function, the ears and eyes of business, which provides visibility in the form of forecast, manages orders, and brings valuable insight to market trends, challenges and opportunities.

Cash Flow: Life blood of business – a combined effect of performance and policy. It is generated by the flow of goods and services to the customer, and is optimized by managing operating and capital expenses, avoiding pinch points and maximizing value.

Cost: Since price is driven by the competitive market, hence no more a matter of choice, the only lever left to earn decent return is to control cost. Understanding the various aspects of cost and how they impact short and long term profitability is the key to sustainable growth.

Capacity: Capacity represents the ability to respond to customer needs, and represents a combination of funds, equipment, facilities, people, licenses, patents, goodwill and all else that enables an organization to transform its vision and mission into reality, gaining competitive advantage. Therefore, to understand the nature of capacity, along with its acquisition and utilization, is the key to sustainable growth.

CISCOM EXAM is held online, and is proctored. The exam comprises 120 multiple choice questions to be answered in three hours. Passing score is 70%. In case of unsuccessful first attempt, a retake is allowed at no additional cost.
