The Findings: Use of relevant qualification is important in obtaining useful occupational production. Hence, the recruiters in supply chain management ask for specific academic qualification and occupational experience for obtaining effective outcome from the employees. The Singaporean industrialists put equal importance on the theoretical and practical knowledge of the candidates before recruiting them to the jobs.
