Background of the Study
Supplier certification programs are integral to ensuring consistent quality standards in supply chain operations. These programs assess suppliers based on predefined criteria, including product quality, compliance, and sustainability practices, thereby minimizing risks and fostering trust. Nigerian Breweries, a leading FMCG company, relies on supplier certification to maintain high-quality standards in its operations in Katsina State (Eze & Okon, 2024).
In an increasingly competitive market, supplier certification programs help companies like Nigerian Breweries meet regulatory requirements, enhance product quality, and strengthen supply chain relationships. This study evaluates the effectiveness of these programs in achieving quality objectives (Adebayo & Musa, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
While supplier certification programs are essential for maintaining quality standards, challenges such as inconsistent evaluations, high implementation costs, and supplier resistance often hinder their effectiveness. Nigerian Breweries faces these issues in its operations in Katsina State, affecting overall supply chain quality. This study aims to address these challenges and evaluate the impact of supplier certification programs on quality enhancement (Ibrahim & Adama, 2024).
