Materials constitute the largest share of costs in manufacturing and significantly high percentage in others. Materials therefore represent highest potential for cost optimization and profit improvement in any enterprise.

The modern approach is not to view materials management in isolation, but as an ingredient of supply chain. A high performing supply chain supports operations and market strategies and drives integrated planning and execution.

It is designed to optimize service, inventory, investment and costs. The purpose of SCM is to improve trust and collaboration among supply chain partners, thus improving inventory visibility and velocity.

Successful SCM requires business process integration involving collaborative work between buyers and suppliers, joint product development, common systems and shared information. This programme is highly practical and interactive.
