Supply Chain Management Programme

On the one hand, markets are increasing in both volatility and complexity, whilst, on the supply side, globalisation is leading to lengthening supply chains, often associated with greater vulnerability to interruptions and delays. This programme will show you the latest thinking in supply chain management and help you with the issues that occur in the current dynamic environment. It will help you to increase your confidence and ability to better deal with complex issues in your supply chain. It takes delegates on a journey through planning, sourcing, making, delivery and return, with an emphasis on enabling the individual to make change and create action in their own organisation.
