Strategy Training & Certification
Master the SCOR framework to build a high-performing supply chain function and develop supply chain strategies that give your organization the competitive edge. Learn about supply chain strategies that reduce risk, increase operational efficiency, generate more revenue, and reduce costs.
Supply chain strategy is a critical tool for an organization to be both competitive and profitable.
Learn useful tools and techniques to develop your supply chain vision and mission and how to translate your vision into a working strategy – from reducing supply chain risk to preventing the bullwhip effect.
Fundamentals
Our “Introduction to Supply Chain Management“ course explores the key definitions, activities, purpose, and objectives of supply chain management.
SCOR
Understand the role of SCOR, a supply chain model created by the ASCM, the Association of Supply Chain Management (formerly APICS) to provide a framework for designing and improving all key activities and processes within Supply Chain.
Bullwhip effect
Learn about the “Bullwhip effect”, first coined by Procter and Gamble in the 1990’s describing the disconnect between actual retail sales of diapers compared to the orders manufacturers were receiving. Understand one of the most important causes of higher costs and lost revenue in the supply chain and develop strategies to identify Bullwhip in your own supply chain and strategies for preventing and managing it.
Supply chain dynamics
Explore the key features of the Bullwhip effect, including movement, delay and amplification and why they happen. Explore how your own actions and those of other members of the supply chain contribute to excess inventory and stock-outs.

In our “Design for Supply Chain” course, we explain how to design products to reduce supply chain risk, and how to develop products aimed at reducing transportation costs.
