Coastline Community College - Supply Management Certificate of Achievement

Coastline Community College
SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
Certificate of Achievement

The Supply Management Certificate Program is both a pre-employment and an in-service program in the purchasing field. It reviews basic supply management skills, governmental and institutional purchasing and negotiating techniques. Supply Management is being recognized as one of the more important functions in a business due to the contribution it can make to the profitability of a company. Competitive bidding and supplier selection based on the lowest quoted price are no longer the only criteria for source selection. Purchasing is developing long-term relationships with fewer suppliers. The total costs of doing business are established through statistical quality measurement factors. Total costs are reduced through supplier-initiated continuous improvement programs including: dock-to-stock, just-in-time deliveries, cycle time reductions and lower inventories.
