Le programme
Explore the invisible world of supply chains
This invisible world of supply chains is important, as it helps us to ensure that we get things in the most efficient and effective way. If this does not happen there can be dramatic consequences - imagine a world without water, food, medicine, education, buildings, roads or planes.
This free online course will introduce you to the fundamentals of the supply chain by applying the core concepts and principles in relation to everyday things. Topics include:
- Just the tip of the iceberg: what is the supply chain?
- The global orchestra: balancing supply and demand
- Shop till you drop: purchasing and procurement in context
- Factory of the future: changing nature of manufacturing
- I like to move it, move it: logistics in context
- Closing the loop: meeting the challenges of a more circular economy
Learn with a team of supply chain thought leaders
The course is led by Jan Godsell, Professor of Operations and Supply Chain Strategy at WMG, University of Warwick – a world leader in supply chains and the host of the Global Supply Chain Debate.
Jan will be joined by her network of supply chain thought leaders, who will use multimedia resources and case studies, to introduce the key concepts, critical roles and best practices that define supply chains.
Through activities and discussions, you’ll also be invited to share your own experiences of supply chains, whether at work or at home.
