SLLC Intermediate case studies
SLLC Intermediate · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The SLLC Intermediate is a professional supply chain credential aimed at practitioners who already handle day-to-day planning, sourcing, or logistics work and want to demonstrate broader command of the end-to-end chain. It suits coordinators, planners, buyers, warehouse and transport supervisors, and analysts moving toward a role that spans functions rather than sitting inside one silo. The exam is delivered as multiple choice and is weighted across nine domains: strategy and network design, demand planning and forecasting, procurement and supplier management, production planning and inventory control, warehousing and materials handling, transportation and distribution, logistics operations and customer service, technology and data analytics, and risk, sustainability, and compliance. Questions test applied judgement rather than recall alone, so expect scenarios where you must choose between defensible options. The SLLC Intermediate case studies are 5 cases and about 3,582 words.
