Executive Education — On-Campus Courses
Global Supply Chain Strategy
Formerly known as Supply Chain Short Course
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This program is designed for supply chain decision-makers who presently have broad supply chain responsibility and for those executives who are striving to achieve the goal of integrated supply chain management. The program is most appropriate for managers, directors, and vice-presidents who are preparing themselves and their companies for broader and more challenging responsibilities in global supply chain management. The Global Supply Chain Strategy course has been designed to be of value to both users and providers of logistics and supply chain services and capabilities.
Program Description
This course focuses on several key dimensions that are relevant to the challenge of managing and improving global supply chains, and on structuring and implementing effective global supply chain strategies. With an emphasis on developing priorities and initiatives that are aligned with an organization's core business and overall supply chain goals and objectives, topics to be highlighted include: supply chain process design; supply chain risk and uncertainty; financial implications; relationships and outsourcing; and leadership and change management. These topics are particularly relevant to modern enterprises, where process integration is a key to success, and where there is much greater transparency and collaboration between traditional boundaries of function, organization, and geography. Often these relationships and processes have a truly global context, thus creating the truly globally-integrated supply chain. Program participants examine critical issues related to planning, designing, and operating highly effective, integrated supply chains.
Learning Objectives
- Global Supply Chain Process Design - How to identify and understand key global supply chain processes and to develop a plan that will create competitive and financial advantage through better supply chain management.
- Supply Chain Risk and Uncertainty - How to prioritize and manage risk factors that impact supply chains and to formulate a viable risk management strategy.
- Financial Implications - How to measure and understand financial drivers of supply chain success and to develop a strategy for supply chain financial performance measurement and improvement.
- Relationships and Outsourcing - How to structure global supply chain relationships to create efficiency and effectiveness, and how to meaningfully leverage outsourced logistics opportunities for overall supply chain success.
- Leadership and Change Management - How to develop leadership of global supply chain activities and how to structure and implement an effective process for change management.
Every effort is made to present the course as advertised herein; however, circumstances may make it necessary to alter the schedule and/or presenters.
