This introductory workshop is suitable for those who are new to the field or who want to expand their knowledge. It provides a comprehensive overview of all the components of the supply chain and emphasizes how effective supply chain management can affect all aspects of a business. Experienced instructors Ken Ackerman and Art van Bodegraven not only pack the course with time- and money-saving techniques of their own but also facilitate discussions where participants can exchange real-life supply chain solutions.
