Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Global supply chains are long, complex and exposed to natural disasters, geopolitical events, cyber attacks, supplier insolvency and transport disruption. A single failure at a key supplier, or a supplier's supplier, can halt production, delay services and damage customer relationships.
This Supply Chain Continuity Planning training course shows how to identify, assess and reduce supply chain disruption risk. Participants learn how to map supply chains beyond the first tier, identify critical suppliers and single points of failure, assess supplier continuity capability, design mitigation strategies such as dual sourcing and buffer stock, and coordinate response when disruptions occur.
The course brings together procurement, operations and continuity perspectives to build a practical, joined-up approach to supply chain resilience.
