Event Description

The Supply Chain is the backbone upon which every company is built. It is the means by which every enterprise delivers value to its customers. Companies adept at Supply Chain Management can maximize profit by skillfully managing costs (see www.amrresearch.com).
 
As global competition grows increasingly fierce and global Supply Chains become more sophisticated, an enterprise’s ability to wield an efficient Supply Chain becomes an operational requirement, especially in light of the significant economic growth predicted for China in 2008.
 
For the first time in the history of the USCBC’s Member’s Priority Survey, Logistics surfaced as a top-10 concern in China for 2007, and Human Resources (i.e. “shortages of… employees with the technical skills companies require to fill key roles.”) continues to lead the list as the number one risk. Facing limited resources and significant uncertainty in foreign economies, companies are scrambling to ride China’s wave of economic growth. What can you do to help your company best position itself for the growth predicted in 2008? 
 
"The Basics of Supply Chain Management" is a flexible training seminar that will provide participants with an understanding of fundamental Supply Chain concepts, terminology and techniques. It has tremendous practical application in the day-to-day professional lives of anyone involved in Supply Chain Management for their company.

This training provides solid, time tested ideas and techniques staff level people involved in the details of daily execution can immediately begin to utilize to cut costs, improve efficiency, increase accuracy, eliminate waste and enhance profits. It also applies to big-picture managers, as it gives a great, succinct overview of the entire Supply Chain end-to-end, how the various functions fit together and interact, and how all stakeholders are affected. It can be custom tailored to the needs of your organization.
