A supply chain spans many different functions, and managing it well means applying its basic principles together with continuous improvement tools. This 100-minute supply chain management training covers the full range of those activities and the techniques used by successful enterprises.
You'll examine the basics of supply chain management, supply chain performance and how to achieve strategic fit between the supply chain and business strategy, including both strategic and operational aspects. The session then covers inventory management and control, the elements of logistics and their roles, transportation objectives and considerations, warehousing capabilities and objectives, and supply management.
It also looks at the major challenges in today's supply chains and how globalization affects dispersed supply and demand.
