Introduction

Welcome

Dear Learner

Welcome to the module entitled ‘Distribution Systems and Procedures Within the Supply
Chain’. The curriculum code for the module is 333905000-WM-08. In terms of the
curriculum, this module has been designated as a ‘Work Experience Module’ and a
‘Logbook’ and is the eighth in a series of eight (8) work experience modules related to the
qualification specified below.

This logbook is designed to serve as a guide for the duration of your practical work-related
activities and may continue to be a valuable reference even after you have completed your
qualification.

This module/logbook contains tasks and/or checklists in the form of activities and templates
which will assist you in recording and providing evidence of the work experience you
acquired from the theoretically inclined ‘Knowledge Modules’ and the simulative ‘Practical
Skills Modules’. This will assist you in performing competently in the workplace. This
information will be further documented in accordance with the ‘Exit Level Outcomes’ of the
relevant qualification.

Your facilitator(s) will guide you through this material, and feel free to make notes and
diagrams that will help you to clarify or retain information. Take notes on ideas you may
generate or those that emanate from group discussions. Also note any points you would
like to explore further.

Participate actively in the outlined or assigned activities as these will give you an
opportunity to gain insights from your own experiences and also from other people’s
experiences too.
Feel free to share your own experiences so that others can learn from you too.

This module will prove to be both interesting and challenging for you. In order to
successfully complete this module, you will be required to devote at least 40 ‘notional’
hours to various comprehensive tasks and activities which will be assigned to you.

This module is part of a qualification titled ‘Occupational Certificate: Supply Chain
Practitioner’ which registered with the 1South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and
administered by the 2Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO).

Purpose and Rationale of the Qualification

Purpose:

3The purpose of this qualification is to prepare a learner to operate as a Supply Chain
Practitioner who can plan, organise, execute, control, and coordinate the activities and
inter-relationships across the supply chain environment.

A qualified learner will be able to:

1. Provide environmental scanning assistance for effective supply chain operations.
2. Implement supply chain operational activities within an organisation.
3. Implement and assess supply chain workflow processes for continuous improvement.
4. Perform inventory and logistics operational activities within an organisation.

Rationale:

The function of supply chain is to ensure smooth and contractually sound transactions
between and amongst businesses, government to business and business to individuals. The
function is integral for the success of every industry in South Africa and therefore
contributes to the social stability, efficiency, and the growth of the South African economy
as a whole.

It is estimated that logistics, which is an element of Supply Chain Management and the
Supply Chain Practitioners' function, constitutes at least 14% of the costs of goods in South
Africa and this is at least 50% above the international norm. A sizeable proportion of this
overspend is attributed to inefficiencies and of lack competence in Supply Chain
Management. In order to become world competitive, South Africa needs to deliver its goods
on time, at the right place and at an acceptable cost. Thus, the supply chain personnel need
to maintain and improve their levels of competences and skills.

This qualification serves to equip the qualifying learner with the fundamental skills,
knowledge, and attitudes necessary to support the provision of world class services and,
improve client and customer service in the logistics and supply chain management. A variety
of occupations from government and business, especially the distribution and logistics
sectors will benefit from this qualification, some include Stevedore operators, Ships' Agents
and Forwarding and Clearing Agents.
