Supply Network Design

Supply networks are as complex and diverse as the companies they serve. Many companies have grown their network in a supplier universe where M&As are common. Thus, supply networks have grown organically over time, and their designs can be difficult to describe beyond terms like “complex” or “diverse.” This ISM supply management course is designed to help companies design their supply networks to meet the needs of the business and align with business strategy now and into the future.
