Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Building High Performance Supply Chains
(formerly Managing the Supply Chain through Processes and Partnerships)
There is a growing recognition that companies no longer compete as individual entities but rather as part of a wider supply chain. The strength of these networks is determined in large part by the quality of the relationships that connect partners across the supply chain and by the competitiveness of the business processes that underpin them.
In this ground-breaking programme - led by Professors Martin Christopher and Doug Lambert (from Fisher School of Business) - the latest thinking and best practice from both sides of the Atlantic is presented in a highly interactive format.
What will I get out of the programme?
You will gain:
- An assessment tool that will point you towards the main opportunities for increasing your supply chain’s performance
- Practical ideas from Doug Lambert and Martin Christopher on how to use the process to transform your own supply chain
- Detailed instructions on how to use the ‘Partnership Model’ to reap the full benefits of collaborating with the right customers and suppliers, and to increase the involvement of other key functions within your firm
- A measurement framework to show how supply chain performance ties to your firm’s overall financial results as you implement the processes covered in the course.
Your organisation will gain:

- Access to a step-by-step process that best-in-class companies are using to achieve supply chain excellence
- Findings of the latest research by Cranfield.
