Supply Chain Collaboration
Supply chain strategy is important, but in the end it is a set of ideas on paper and in people's minds. Translating strategy into tactical plans that can be executed consistently and predictably is the essence of supply chain planning excellence. Otherwise, operational uncertainty will transform into financial uncertainty and poor customer service. The purpose of this course is to provide you with the understanding, tools and methods necessary to define, develop and manage planning processes.
