Overview

Supply Chain Management Market Distribution in the Supply Chain

The success of any supply chain will always be determined by its capacity to get its products to its intended audience. Whatever is being sold, the efficiency with which it reaches the final customer is of the utmost importance. Market distribution management involves the consideration of multiple variables that may affect efficiency and performance. Regardless of the size or nature of the business, there will always be endless options available for getting products from where they are to where they need to be. However, pinpointing the most efficient and cost-effective option takes significantly greater expertise.

This exclusive tutorial has been designed for senior managers, business owners and anyone involved in supply chain management or distribution. Study a definition of distribution, along with the importance of choosing the most appropriate distribution channels and associated channel relationships. Explore pricing fundamentals, market distribution strategy development and how distribution impacts the rest of the supply chain from beginning to end.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
