PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

Supply Chain Management for food manufacturing and/or sensitive consumer products is a critical scarce skill. A person acquiring this qualification will be able to manage an element of the Fast Moving Consumer Supply Chain. The focus of this qualification is to enable learners to develop their understanding and enhance their skills within a specialized area of the supply chain of a Food, Beverage or sensitive consumer product organisation.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    This National Diploma in Procurement, Manufacturing and Distribution Management, Level 6 is primarily about managing a functional unit with a specialized area in a value or supply chain of a manufacturing entity. The qualification addresses a broad range of competencies including monitoring and measuring the performance of people, leading and managing a team, and enhancing the development of teams and team members. Hence, the focus of this qualification is on showing leadership in the management of people across the technical and operational element of a manufacturing entity.

In the Centre for Executive Education at the ISB provides a range of certificate for managers who are already employed but who wish to move up the management chain. These programmes take place all the time. In a structured programme in Supply Chain Management they will have the courses such as, Contract law, Risk management, Finance, Logistics, Leadership Skills, Production Management and Talent Management.

    Uganda:

    In a similar vein, Makerere University in Uganda offers a Post Graduate Programme in Logistics Management.

    The programme covers the following aspects:

    In conclusion, some universities investigated in the course of this exercise offer certificates and diplomas in the field of supply chain management but more offer a programme in a specific area of supply chain management such as logistics, production management, maintenance or purchasing management.

    This programme is targeting people who are already employed and need management and supply chain management skills therefore the national vocational qualifications of New Zealand and the United Kingdom have more relevance.

    This qualification has much more content and structure than all the others that formed part of this study. This qualification brings together most of the applied competencies in the field of conversion, procurement and logistics in a structured way and paves the way for learners to be developed in each of the three elective streams.
