Programme overview
Labour costs, tax incentives and supports offered by national development organisations are among many reasons that have encouraged increasing multinationalism in manufacturing and distribution. This, together with an expanded supplier-based supply chain, has helped organisations in gaining major cost advantage and market share. However, it has also resulted in a more unstable supply chain. Sustainability of the supply chain is an essential requirement in order to continue trading, much less grow market share while reducing operating costs.
This online course aims to provide the supply chain professional with the tools to cope with the types of disruptions caused by uncertain economic cycles, consumer demands, natural and man-made disasters within the supply chain process. It will also enable them to develop a comprehensive programme to prioritise actions that will eliminate or mitigate that risk, and to establish an ongoing review cycle that will protect their supply chain in times of stress.
The course is run over 5 webinars, each of two hours duration, with a 10min break in the middle. 10 hours in total.
Who is the course for
This course is designed for personnel involved in various aspects of logistics and supply chain management, for example: purchasing managers, buyers, supplier sourcing specialists, supplier contract negotiators, supplier validation personnel, logistics managers, warehouse and distribution managers, supply chain managers and planners.
The course may also be of interest to operations personnel involved in decision regarding site locations, ERP security and global corporate social responsibility.
