At a beginner level, individuals are able to perform basic inventory management tasks such as tracking inventory levels and ordering materials. They should understand the flow of production logistics and the supply chain and have knowledge of the basics of inventory management, warehousing, and transportation. They can also track inventory levels and replenish materials and products as necessary. Beginner-level individuals are able to communicate with suppliers, production personnel, and other relevant parties to ensure that materials and products are delivered on time and in the correct quantities.

They have a deep understanding of the supply chain, including the logistics and transportation of materials and products, and can make informed decisions about suppliers, shipping methods, and warehouse locations. They can work with other departments, such as sales and marketing, to forecast demand and plan for future production needs. They use data analysis tools and software to identify trends and make informed decisions about production logistics and supply chain management.

Advanced competence definition

Advanced-level professionals can implement advanced supply chain management techniques such as just-in-time (JIT) inventory management, vendor-managed inventory (VMI), and collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR). They have a deep understanding of the supply chain and are able to identify opportunities for improvement in the logistics and transportation of materials and products. They can also use data analytics and software tools to optimize the supply chain and improve production logistics. We have found that they should also have strong leadership skills, be able to manage and develop teams, and be able to work collaboratively with other departments to implement changes in production logistics and supply chain management.
