Global Challenges & Strategies
Supply Chain Management and Logistics Supply chains connect businesses and form very complex structures Logistics run supply chains (Logistics is more than transportation) Supply chain management aims to achieve the highest possible customer satisfaction whilst maximising profits
Global Challenges (1/2) Network economy - from independent players to vertical/horizontal collaborations Cost pressures - ever growing price competitiveness Talent shortfalls - skills shortages in all areas - from operational to strategic Volatility - Turbulences in both demand and supply sides
Global Challenges (2/2) Sustainability - Greening supply chains High risks and disruptions - Across supply chains - environmental, political... New technology - Maximising business benefits

University Graduates Sri Lankan students are learning more than ever at the country s universities. However, when they enter the job market, whether the government or the private sector, their knowledge is most often limited to theoretical knowledge they learn in their texts. In contrast, the job market now seeks a more versatile graduate...
Qualifications & Credit Framework
Apprenticeships An Apprenticeship is a paid job with training, leading to a package of qualifications which relate to the job Has created 2.2 million apprenticeships since 2010 apprenticeships to be given equal legal treatment as degrees commitment to create 3 million apprenticeships by 2020 will be enshrined in law public sector bodies will be set targets to help reach 3 million
Apprenticeship Scheme UK Government funds apprenticeship scheme in collaboration with industry via the National Apprentice Service Age 16-18 up to 100% 19-24 up to 50% National Apprenticeship Service contribution 25 + Contribution for specified places
Industry Partners
Trailblazers Trailblazers are led by large and small employers. They are leading the way in developing new Apprenticeship standards and assessment approaches for key occupations in their sectors Over 400 employers are involved in the Trailblazers so far. They are building on what already exists to ensure that professionalism and quality in training are the primary focus Aerospace Automotive Digital Industries Electrotechnical Energy & Utilities Financial Services Food and Drink Manufacturing Life &Industrial Sciences

Global Perspectives - Process
Business Process - Needlessly Complex?
Supply Chain Operational Reference (SCOR) Model Understanding how businesses operate is a pre-requisite to any process improvement efforts Different businesses use their own languages to describe business operations making connectivity difficult SCOR provides a simple framework to describe supply chain operations and improve performance
Supplier processes SCOR Key Building Blocks Source Return Supply Chain Plan Make Deliver Return Customer processes Process, arrow indicates material flow direction Process, no material flow Information flow
End-to-End Supply Chain Modelling Plan Deliver Source Plan Make Deliver Source Make Deliver Source Plan Make Deliver Source Return Return Return Return Return Return Return Return Suppliers Supplier Supplier Internal or External Your Company Customer Internal or External Customers Customer
SCOR Framework SCOR brings together three well known methodologies, Business Process Re- Engineering, Benchmarking and Best Practices Analysis SCOR

Internal Customer Performance Attributes Attribute Reliability (RL) Strategy Consistently getting the orders right, product meets quality requirements Responsiveness (RS) Agility (AG) Cost (CO) The consistent speed of providing products/services to customers The ability to respond to changes in the market (external influences) The cost associated with managing and operating the supply chain Assets (AM) The effectiveness in managing the supply chain s assets in support of fulfillment
Example
Benefits of SCOR Provides a structured approach and practical methodology for supply chain process improvements Provides a common language to share operational views, and communicate changes or definitions of processes Provide a set of common, easy to understand terminology, process building blocks with definitions and performance metrics SCOR offers companies insights and suggestions on best practices to build a project portfolio for improvement
Supply Chain Simulation & Optimisation Spreadsheet models cannot capture complexities of supply chains Simulation is the only credible alternative which enables companies to assess the impact of structural and policy changes A new generation of supply chain simulation and optimisation tools fuelling wider deployment - programming free simulation! Built-in optimisation for produce cost-efficient solutions Built-in Geographical Information System (GIS) for realistic animation
