Supply Chain Strategy
Just about every operation, company or non-profit, from the smallest to the largest, has some kind of supply chain.
The effectiveness and efficiency of your supply chain is essential to developing customer satisfaction. Ultimately, it's an important contributor to your bottom line.
A supply chain can be very complex and is really more of a mesh than a chain.
However, bringing to bear the right tools, the right skills and the right organization enable you to manage this complex system in a simple, straightforward way.
