Course overview

Supply chain covers supply and demand planning, warehousing, transportation and purchasing, and typically costs 2–6% of net sales. Obvious cost reduction avenues have vanished while transport and manpower costs keep rising. Should we accept these increases as justified? Definitely not: we need to find savings innovatively to offset them.
