Troubled times increase risks in day-to-day business. For purchasers , this means being vigilant and staying prepared for the worst-case scenario. The question arises as to how the supply chain(s) are currently being secured within the purchasing organization. Is there a spontaneous reaction to unforeseen events or is there already proactive monitoring and control of suppliers? This training teaches how successful and, in particular, sustainable risk management can be established in order to counteract supply bottlenecks or failures.
