About this Certificate Program: In many organizations inventories are the largest single asset. Even in companies with significant fixed assets buildings, equipment, etc. materials represent a huge investment. This investment must be vigorously managed. If the managers who have responsibility for overseeing these critical resources have state-of-the-art information and techniques, they can save an organization time, money and make a positive impact on customer service and the bottom line. The Supply Chain and Logistics Management Certificate Program offers a comprehensive management development program for professionals involved in inventory management, purchasing, warehousing or transportation. A materials manager who completes six (6) seminars within a three-year period will receive a certificate of completion from The University of Alabama College of Continuing Studies. This non-credit certificate will establish a permanent record within the College of Continuing Studies documenting the recipient s exposure to state-of-the-art materials management techniques. Five required seminars: 1. Managing & Improving Warehouse Operations (2 days) 2. Managing Inventories for Increased Profitability (2 days) 3. Managing Supply Chains for Risk & Competitive Advantage (3 days) 4. Purchasing Techniques for Effective Buying (2 days) 5.

Only then can costs be contained and customer service be enhanced.

6 Elective Sessions (Six Seminars) CRAFTING PURCHASING & SUPPLY CONTRACTS Purchasing Management Do you have trouble understanding all the terminology you encounter on some procurement contracts?

Do you dread the thought of constructing a Statement of Work or specifications? If you are thinking about questions like these, chances are you are not alone. All too often, buyers and procurement specialists rely on luck and wishful thinking to carry them through the maneuvering of writing a contract. Crafting Purchasing & Supply Contracts is indeed a practicum which can not only help you generate the kinds of contracts you need for a variety of situations but also help you scrutinize those contracts that come to you from other sources. Through lecture and discussion, you will get detailed explanations and illustrations involving the use of contract clauses in such a way that you will be able to apply your new-found knowledge to your own contractual environment.

8 Elective Sessions (Six Seminars) STRATEGIC PURCHASING & SUPPLY MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES Purchasing Management Purchasing, a vital element of the company, must be able to function at top efficiency at all times. To do so, there must be flexibility and proper organization. Each purchasing manager must be able to review the purchasing function objectively and determine whether its current structure and system of operation fills the needs of the company as well as the needs of purchasing. In such an analysis, matters like purchasing policies, job descriptions, operational procedures, and departmental structure must be considered with care. The new breed of purchasing professionals has added dimensions to the responsibilities of physical supply management that will continue to bring their organizations into the 21st century.

Instituting ADC allows you to know exactly what you have and where it is at all times.
