Curriculum Development

As markets become more global and competition intensifies, firms are beginning to realize that competition is not exclusively a firm versus firm domain but a supply chain against supply chain phenomenon. Visibility across operational activities—from demand forecasting, to the sourcing of raw materials, through to manufacture and dispatch—is critical to supply chain competition. Customers will no longer tolerate delays in response times and information is required in minutes not hours, to enable individual stakeholders to plan, organize and control their supply chain activities. Consequently, the most effective supply chain networks are dynamic in nature, distributed in architecture and leverage sophisticated real-time analytics.
