Overview

Customer demand is of great importance in direct relation to supply, and depleting supply for a high demand product does not drive out customer value. Supply chain management strategies, discipline, and methodologies should be carefully plotted to ensure supply and customer satisfaction and quality of service.

The goals of the supply chain management are to maximize resources, lower down costs, and reduce. Their tasks include design, planning, and implementation, control, monitoring and coordinating within companies.

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.
