Description

Supply Chain Management

In an era of growing globalisation, organisations worldwide are becoming increasingly interdependent. As opposed to functioning independently, businesses at all levels are now fundamentally reliant on other businesses to facilitate their primary functions. From those who source raw materials to manufacturers to retailers to transportation providers and so on, almost every business relies intrinsically on various third-parties. The problem being that should a single link in the supply chain be compromised, the consequences for the respective business can be devastating.

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.
