A case study in best practice – Merck's approach to continuous learning, and investment in people, across supply chain operations. 

Merck KGaA, a global leader in science and technology, partnered with Skill Dynamics to launch a scalable, flexible Supply Chain Academy aimed at upskilling employees across its Life Science division.
