NZPICS NEWSLETTER- APRIL 2022
I’ve had first-hand experience of COVID – 19 as a close contact and testing positive. Isolating over both the instances was challenging. The solace being, I used this time to recalibrate and re-access my professional goals. I’ve challenged myself to complete the CLTD and SCOR-P program by the 3rd quarter of 2022.
If you are in the process of recalibrating and re-accessing your professional goals look at some of the global gold standard program highlighted below.
Take care, be safe and look after yourself.

The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model is widely recognized as the global standard for supply chain management. The SCOR model enables users to address, improve and communicate supply chain management practices.
The SCOR-P session cover:
· Supply chain processes – Supply chains are described using the standard SCOR processes (Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, Return, and Enable). Process training delves into each component. Process education also addresses process modelling.
· Supply chain performance metrics – SCOR metrics describe and address reliability, responsiveness, agility, and cost and asset efficiency. The application of metrics and supply chain benchmarking is discussed.
· Supply chain practices – Process maturity is examined, and class participants are trained on how to assess supply chain activities and apply best practices.
· Supply chain people skills –The SCOR model offers insight on organizational design and the people skills and competencies required for successful supply chain operation
