Supply Chain
Management / Training for Top Managers
Theme
The supply chain management is the
buzzword today. True concept of supply
chain and the business advantage it can
create is often fuzzed in the
literature, news and even the academics
who should know. This needs to be
corrected at all levels and particularly
at senior management level.
The program develops the perspective of
origin of the thought through the vital
competitive need to a full blown
movement. The interest is spurred by
very obvious impact the supply chain has
on costs, value and overall
competitiveness. It is estimated that
almost all value addition and costs
related to current positive cash flows
are due to supply chain activity.
The content covers vital strategic
issues and management thought. The cases
and stories are specially panned to
demonstrate business level impact.
Though compact the senior managers would
have complete tour of vital concepts and
key issues.
