This course focuses on both the manufacturing and service businesses and the internal and external operations involved at all levels of the supply chain in a global environment. Delegates will learn how the coordination of all the functions within these operations impacts on the movement and delivery of goods and/or services to the right place at the right time.

Emphasis is placed on the importance of adopting a “total systems” approach by the firm and its networks, which enhance the value adding activities of the supply chain and its logistical application to achieve customer satisfaction. The module also demonstrates the strategic importance of developing and implementing a comprehensive operation for both these types of business.
