Post Graduate Diploma in Procurement and Supply Chain Management

Course Overview

The success of any business today is more dependent on the performance of its supply chain. Efficient supply chain management has an effect on the overall internal performance of any organization. The current economic crisis and competitiveness of global organizations increase its importance even further. Organizations adopt numerous business improvement methodologies to improve business performance. Manufacturers and researchers have noted a number of problems regarding supply chain activities in their research and practice. After taking scholarly recommendations into consideration, we came up with a comprehensive course on Purchasing and Supplies at a Post Graduate level.
