Supply Chain Management

During the training, you will learn step by step how a modern supply chain is structured and which processes are interconnected along the value chain. You will understand how procurement, production, warehousing, and distribution work together and the role these areas play in an efficient supply chain. This will enable you to better contextualize decisions and processes in your own work environment and more quickly recognize how changes in one process affect other areas of the supply chain.

Modern supply chains consist of networks of different companies. In this training, you will learn about the roles that suppliers, logistics service providers, and other partners play within the value chain. You will understand how collaboration between companies is organized and why coordinated processes along the supply chain are crucial for stable operations. This will help you better understand how external partners influence the performance of the entire supply chain.

The stability of a supply chain depends on many factors, such as planning, information flow, inventory levels, and cross-departmental collaboration. In this training, you’ll learn which factors are particularly critical and how they interact with one another. This will help you better understand why certain processes are especially crucial for a company’s delivery capability and efficiency. The training will help you become more aware of these factors in your daily work and better assess their impact on costs, inventory levels, and service levels.

In a supply chain, various objectives often conflict with one another, such as costs, inventory levels, delivery times, and service levels. In this training, you will learn why such conflicts of interest arise and how they can impact decisions throughout the supply chain. This will help you better understand in your day-to-day work why certain decisions are complex and require consideration of multiple factors. The training will help you analyze such conflicts of interest more systematically.

To ensure that you don’t just understand the material in theory, the training provides practical examples and typical real-world scenarios from supply chain management. This will help you see how the concepts covered are applied in actual business processes. You’ll be able to apply the material more easily to your own work and better assess how supply chain management methods can be used in your day-to-day work.
