Supply Chain Finance
This course has been designed specifically for those who need to understand the basics of supply chain management and the impact of supply chain operations on corporate financial performance. In two parts, attendees can chose between the morning session, the afternoon session, or both. The morning tracks a typical supply chain management team through their activities, explaining the significance of each operation they undertake. The afternoon examines the financial implications of supply chain decisions, analysing how they can free up internal liquidity and how supply chain management can provide value to the finance department. This course is ideal for those new to the subject and, especially, for those who will work with corporations on supply chain finance and need a basic understanding of the issues involved.
