Gauteng to act on supply chain corruption
Just to compare approaches to procurement and corruption issues with our contemporary as a benchmark for dealing with public procurement. Seems the two countries are having similar problems but I would want to observe that a province in SA is taking a leadership role in solving the problem while in Nigeria the approach is more centralized through BPP(Bureau of public procurement). The question I would like to ask is the effectiveness of the centralized approach because it only reminds me of NEPA/PHCN inefficiencies where it only serves as a bottleneck in the power supply framework of the country. |

There a lot of things to do in order to move with the logistics train,whenever I say logistics I actually mean the supply chain management as a simple umbrella name,Nairaland logistics is one place to rub minds with colleague professional on topics but there are also volunteer career-mentors and senior practitioners that can guide on professional development in logistics and SCM,at least if its not our standard practice here,it is our dream to develop this forum to that level. Our hope is to raise the flag of this profession high in Nigeria and become the profession of first choice in Logistics & SCM,operations management and business administration in general. To grow in this profession,there are various specialist areas that you may embrace for training but there are definitely training opportunities for people to gain a wider knowledge in SCM and later decide your favorite area of practice as a specialist. Various training opportunities for career development include: Purchasing and Supply Chain management Inventory & Warehouse Management Import & Export Operations Management Logistics & Transport Management Material Management Maritime Trade & Transport Management Operations Management Project Management While this list may not be exhaustive enough and some items on the list are advanced administrative skills for any profession,a foundation knowledge of SCM would be a must have for a successful career in Logistics,there are various institutes and training organization offering general logistics knowlegde. They include: CIPSM,Nigeria CIPS,UK CILT,UK ISM,USA APICS,USA PMAC,Canada Again this is not an exhaustive list,there are still some other organizations which must have been mentioned in other posts,kindly avail yourself the opportunity of looking for this post and do research on the web on this organizations and their training programs.If you have made up your mind,you can get back to this forum for help on training resources,contacts and other things where we may be of help.

lovelynn: Hi Lovelyn, You are welcome,I could not really understand this post or probably you may be asking if there is any job opportunity,while you may earn low on your job at this moment what I think may be of utmost importance is the invaluable experience you may have on the job. Rather than solve a finance problem by looking for another high paying job,why not look for a venture that can raise some money,cause any new job at hand with the prospect of paying your ideal salary would come with its challenges,i hope you are as well ready for that. Cheers. |

Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by abinibi: 9:15am On Oct 15, 2010 |
Biliamin: wills: Finally,I have now been awarded the MCIPS designation;the CIPS rules forbid us to claim the designation until the upgrade process has been completed and the only reason I have not responded to your posts.I am now an MCIPS and within the last few months so many things has happened,recently relocated but I am back in Naija and with a new role as a contracts engineer with an E & P. Just to emphasize the international recognition of CIPS,when I relocated to North America I was recognized as a professional member and was instantly registered but to be assigned my designation in North America if I can show a proof of MCIPS designation which was then an on-going process but now that I am officially an MCIPS I would be pursue the profesional designation in North America.For some it takes them 10 years to achieve this designation but its normally a 3-years continous education at the university with thousand-dollars worth of workshops to be attended. MCIPS has practically saved me all that time and investments,this designation I am pursuing is an asset for procurement jobs in North America,I encourage anyone who has started the CIPS program not to relent as the gains are much more than what you have to sacrifice. |

Hi all, I just want to confirm if the Nov diet of CIPS still holds. I wonder because Eid Moulud falls within the week and some candidates will be having paper on that day. Any update? |

Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by ConsultSC: 11:30am On Nov 25, 2010 |
Dear All, It is really nice to see evidence of high interest of the Nigerian professional community in SCM and Logistics. I work for a UK based consulting company. I've been looking to find a way to connect with SCM professionals in Africa especially in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana without muck luck. Do you know any forum where I can find SC consultants based in these countries? Is there anyone here with experience in FMCG, Pharma, Beverage, Telecom industries who is interested in consulting assignments? Some previous consulting experience would be desirable. If so please get in touch with me and I would be more than happy to provide more information. Kind regards! |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by DisGuy: 4:27am On Dec 05, 2010 |
Congrats @ Abinibi ConsultSC, you didn't leave your contact |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by wham(m): 7:41pm On Jan 11, 2011 |
Hi guys, Pls how do I get info about the Nigerian Institute of Supply Chain Mng? Where can I find them? |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by zionmmv: 2:37am On Jan 15, 2011 |
[b]Supply Chain /Global Logistics Mgt in Europe and America is so huge.I do not know how big it is in Africa especially Nigeria as the environment is not conducive for organisations to invest in,except the oil & Telecoms companies.For now,It's huge in emerging markets like China and India especially in the areas of sourcing and manufacturing.I guess not much is know about this diverse discipline apart fro core Logistics,especially in freight forwarding,export and compliance, Emergence of IT,FMCCG,Retail,Pharmaceuticals,Engineering could open doors for SCM graduates in Africa. Regarding ERP,not all the companies except the oil and those with global reach can afford to implement that solution across their channels as it is very expensive.To go it alone,makes no sense.You are better off being trained by the org that hires you. As per certifications, APICS Supply Chain certificate is your best bet as it is recognized worldwide.I doubt if they have an outlet in Nigeria. Don't give up hope buddy.SCM is the shizzy.Concentrate more on SCM system specialist.Most big and major companies are moving away from physical side of Logistics into IT and integrated based SCM/Logistics.It's all about the systems these days.I have a Masters degree in the field,coming from a business background and enjoying my job as a Channel Logistics Executive in a Telecom company though not in Naija.[/b] |

zionmmv: THEY DO AND ITS CALLED MULTIMIX ACADEMY AT SABO - YABA, I DID MY CSCP EXAM LAST DECEMBER THERE. I HOPE I SCALE THRU !!! |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by AjanleKoko: 11:26am On Jan 18, 2011 |
okeyz: Hi okeyz, I didn't know APICS now has an examination center in Nigeria. Did you do the exam in Nigeria? |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by degbe: 3:03pm On Jan 18, 2011 |
which is better out of CIPS and APICS CSCP? |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by zionmmv: 4:15pm On Jan 18, 2011 |
APICS is much better |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by okeyz(m): 4:35pm On Jan 18, 2011 |
AjanleKoko: yes they do,their representative in Nigeria is multimix academy, they still conduct CIPS exams too, we were about 8 of us who did the exam in the whole of Nigeria, objective all thru,very guerrelling questions, hmm, APICS sabi set exam o for more infor you go to www.multimix-academy.com |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by AjanleKoko: 7:59pm On Jan 18, 2011 |
okeyz: That's really surprising. I checked APICS website and they had a list of cities where you could write the exam last year. Nigeria isn't there. Check http://www.apics.org/sitefiles/testarea/international.html. Also weird is what you wrote about hoping to pass. CSCP is a Pearson Vue exam, you get to see your results immediately. It's a computer-based exam. Did you do the Paper and Pencil exam? |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by okeyz(m): 4:54pm On Jan 19, 2011 |
AjanleKoko: yes ! I did the paper and pencil based exam and thats what every body did in nIgeria fear no let anybody do CBT o, That thing is a time bomb , you cant go back if u click a wrong answer and besides its already timed so if u are not fast enough the thing can log one out when your time is up! and that could be catastrophic!! Paper and pencil na your normal jamb scenerio but the bad thing is that the questions papers are different, my number 1 can be your number 50, in all the questions are 175 in number and you need to get 135 correct to pass!! , i just pray i make it o, The thing is not child's play there is another Exam coming up in may/june i think This is the APICS website for the certificate administrator for Nigeria http://www.apics.org/sitefiles/forms/APICS_Services_Outside_North_America.html |
