Supply Chain Management

Global Supply Chain Management deals with the components and variables inherent in getting goods and services to the customer, in both the service and the manufacturing industries. The main components of supply chain-purchasing, inventory, operations and transportation, constitute more than 70 per cent to 80 per cent of the cost of sales, and have major impact on the profitability, quality and availability of any product or service. This course covers the whole spectrum of global supply chain management, in which marketing management is the first link and also the final link. (The tip of the iceberg.)
