Increasingly, supply chain management is being recognized as the key to corporate success. Unfortunately, many mistakenly view supply chain management as simply another term for logistics, purchasing, operations, or a combination of logistics/purchasing/operations. In fact, supply chain management is much broader. Supply chain management is the integration of key business processes from end user through original suppliers, that provides products, services and information that add value for customers and other stakeholders. The focus of this seminar is on the core processes that must be linked throughout the supply chain.
