A supply chain that operates globally will encompass a network of suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, shipping and transport companies, wholesalers and retailers working across a variety of countries to provide an end product. Successful global supply chains ensure that the right types of goods and materials are sourced, supplied, produced and shipped in the right quantities, to the right locations, at the right time and in the right condition.

The unit of competency is applicable to individuals who work in global supply chains.
