Supply Chain Frontiers issue #43

The MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL) has scheduled the next session of its groundbreaking executive education course, Supply Chain Management: Driving Strategic Advantage, for January 3 to 6, 2012, on the MIT campus. This highly interactive program is designed for industry professionals who need high-functioning supply chains to compete in today’s complex marketplace.

A growing number of companies recognize the importance of supply chain as a revenue generator – not simply as a cost of doing business. But to capture these bottom-line benefits, organizations need the latest expertise in supply chain design and management.

Course attendees will learn about:

  • Integrated supply chain management
  • Supply chain dynamics
  • Managing uncertainty
  • Current practices in leading companies
  • Scenario planning
  • Aligning supply chain with corporate strategy

The course attracts a wide base of supply chain professionals. These include senior executives looking to strengthen the company’s market share, HR practitioners who train supply chain talent, and supply chain managers working to improve product flow and meet new demand.

Because of the limited number of places on the course, those interested should sign up as soon as possible.
