Question: I completed the Purchasing Management Specialist (PRS) program through BusinessTraining.com. I have a good fundamental base of Purchasing Management knowledge now. What type of personal self development work should I now focus on to further my career success in this field?
Answer: There is another program offered by BusinessTraining.com and it is the Supply Chain Management Specialist (SCMS). It is the next step in the field. Most Purchasing Management Professionals further their career by becoming Supply Chain Managers. The Supply Chain Manager is much like the Purchasing Manager, but focuses on Operations and the flow of material in manufacturing and also logistics. This is a more technical level of involvement than the Purchasing Manager. This program will help to give you more exposure into the operations of an organization. It sets your thought process on input and output rather than just sourcing.
