Supply Chain Management - Fundamentals, Design, Operations

Learn how to design, plan, manage, and control the end-to-end global supply chain flow using best tools and practices.

The market place is more demanding than ever. Competition is stiff. Frequent product introductions are often required to survive. The product offerings available to customers are practically limitless. And customer expectations for quality, features, availability and price are just as demanding. This leads to shorter product life cycles and greater demand volatility. At the same time, for many products, the developing markets represent an increasingly large portion of the total revenue. So companies can't focus on just supplying North America, developed Europe and developed Asia.

These developing markets typically require customized versions of a base product in order to satisfy customer needs. A supply chain that quickly and efficiently delivers products to just about every country around the world is often required to compete.

The ability to introduce new products quickly is critical. Equally important is the ability to effectively phase out products without incurring significant inventory write-offs. To make things worse, the challenging market place is coming at a time of increasing financial pressure. Companies face slowing growth rates, margin pressure, reduced access to capital and demanding shareholders. As such, companies are looking to reduce spending in supply chain operations and optimize working capital.
