INTRODUCTION 

TO SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATE

POWERED BY THE FRESH CONNECTION (TFC)

We lose 40% of our labor dollars, direct and indirect, because our employees don’t know, or don’t work to, the supply chain strategy.  It isn’t because they don’t want to or can’t, but because they don’t know where “North on the Compass” is for their organization’s supply chain, they are making decisions that don’t support or align with our strategies.

SUPPLY CHAIN

RISK MANAGEMENT

POWERED BY THE FRESH CONNECTION (TFC)

The supply chain environment is changing rapidly these days and you have to deal with many and varied forms of risk that cause disruption.  The challenge is to identify and then either prevent, mitigate, or have recovery plans for managing risks in the supply chain.  Most companies are not prepared to manage risks and get surprised by a crisis.

SUPPLY CHAIN

STRATEGY SEGMENTATION

POWERED BY THE FRESH CONNECTION (TFC)

Different customers want different things in a product.  This means companies have to group customers around these characteristics and create a channel and plan to meet that set of needs.  But all these channels have to share the same set of equipment! I bet this sounds like your work and your industry.  Come join our class and learn how to do this by running a business.

SUPPLY CHAIN

SALES AND OPERATIONS PLANNING

POWERED BY THE FRESH CONNECTION (TFC)

Why don’t you make what we sell?  Why don’t you sell what we make?  A time honored act of sales and operations yelling at each other.  Make it go away by learning the skills of building, and running a successful Sales and Operations Planning Process.  Learn S&OP and you too can become one of the leaders of balancing supply vs demand.

SUPPLY CHAIN

Come learn how to do this by running a company yourself.
