Principles of Supply Chain Management
About the Training Program
Supply chain management aims to balance demand and supply using systematic approaches.
It focuses on material and information flows inside the organisation and across partner organisations.
Organisations need systematic approaches to plan and execute supply chain activities quickly and effectively.
This training covers supply chain process structure, material and information flows, and process improvement opportunities.
End-to-end supply chain evaluation, critical topics and best practices are discussed.
Presentations and printed training materials provided to participants are in English.
