Modern Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management enables to match the supply side and the demand side of your business model. The demand pattern is actually volatile and this is a challenge to predict the demand. Commercial activities, introduction of new products, uncertainty and volatility make the demand forecasting a complicated exercice. The supply pattern related to the sourcing of raw materials, parts and the production in house is as well volatile. Nevertheless, connecting the supply and the demand is a must. This course focuses on value and performance creation, and addresses the 3 complementary levels of any supply chain model: strategic design, tactical monitoring and operational excellence.

• Use supply chain management as a business value creation leverage (customers satisfaction, cost, cash, ROCE, sustainability);
• Capture the drivers of designing a supply chain model including geopolitical context;
• Learn how to design a supply chain model (value equation and performance of SC operating model);
• Be able to implement a S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning) and S&OE (Sales and Operations Execution).

Through the use of videos, feedback, negotiation simulations and other exercises, you will:

• Develop a successful personal negotiation style
• Evaluate your own negotiation and dispute resolution style
