Subjects
To successfully achieve the CILT(UK) Level 3 Practitioner Certificate in Logistics, Supply Chain and Operations Management, Learners must complete two mandatory units and one optional unit.

Strategy communication and deployment feed into this environment, with the unit providing Learners with the tools to monitor performance and manage the people, quality, and costs that contribute to the achievement of strategic goals. All of this is underpinned by a focus on sustainable practice and the global community.
This unit focuses on the interactions of supply chain elements.

This is then underpinned by continuous improvement techniques to ensure value is captured within processes.
This unit explores the physical operations that occur along the supply chain, inclusive of physical inventory management, the handling and storage functions of the inventory within a warehouse and distribution centre, and the implications of the logistics and transport functions that provide the connecting element along the supply chain.
