Apart from these potential problems, there is huge potential by applying supply chain methods and processes to increase competitiveness and decrease supply chain cost. The skills and competencies to realize (the vision of) supply chain management are not widely understood or readily available. Therefore focused education and training is required based on the industry s specific requirements. 

Education and training programs should be established for the project team and the end users. Education is based on presenting principles while training is based on practical hands-on tutorials. Course modules must be documented and their content approved and delivered by authorized trainers. Staff training records, including those for contractors, should be maintained to track attendance on courses. The use of competency questionnaires to verify learning should be considered. Mere attendance does not necessarily imply that an individual has understood and taken on board course material. 

One approach to education and training in the industry is what is called competency-based training . A competency is a skill, knowledge or behavior required to undertake effectively the tasks and responsibilities for which an individual is responsible. 

On the driver capabilities side of the equation. Fuller notes that our long-term capabilities are based on the competence that we bring to the driving situation. This, in turn, is based on our experience, driver education, and training, which are discussed in detail in Chapter 6. Beyond these human factors, the model also acknowledges the driver s constitutional features . These include various personality attributes, attitudes, and cognitive style that are discussed in...

Coordination may be established, where appropriate, between the DRA and the country s educational institutions, to provide the number and types of pharmaceutical competency which are needed. The aim is not merely to increase the number of professionals, but also to develop skills through short training courses. A coherent, module-based educational package may be developed by collaboration between countries. The individual modules may be housed in institutions with the relevant expertise. The DRA may then choose where to send its personnel for the training they most require. 

In order to develop curricula in vocahonal educahon that will lead to students learning to be able to do, the notion of competency has been introduced. In competency-based training (CBT) stakeholders articulate standards of behaviour or competencies, for particular professions and occupahons. CBT attempts to connect education and trairhng with the responsible achons that parhcular occupations involve. 

A complete assessment of craft training needs will be accomplished to identify priority areas for skiU development that is competency based, to provide demonstrated technical capabilities for each craft skill. The successful maintenance operations will develop an ongoing program for craft skill development. Continuous maintenance education, based on modern technical learning systems, wUl be viewed as a sound investment and an important part of continuous maintenance improvement.
