Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management Programme
Supply chain management is becoming increasingly important for organisations and, at the same time, more and more challenging for the individuals responsible. 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.
