Description:
Companies today are presented with a number of possible supply chain strategies. Walmart focuses on low cost; Nordstrom focuses on high quality and service; Apple focuses on innovation. How can companies decide which strategy is best for them and if their actions are appropriately aligned with their strategy? Are you operating the most appropriate type of supply chain? Are you spending time and money on strategies that aren't providing the maximum benefit? This seminar is designed to help you answer these questions.
You will begin by looking at various product, service and supply chain characteristics and learning a framework for aligning the right strategies for your needs. You'll then learn strategies to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and reduce costs. This seminar will help you understand what type of supply chain you should be targeting – or designing, because putting teams to work on the wrong initiatives can cost you valuable time and money. Moreover, even within your company, several different types of supply chains may be called for; having a complete understanding of a wide range of strategies is critical.
