PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED
All organizations are a part of a supply chain. Whether an organization is manufacturing / producing a product or providing a service, it has a supply chain. Successful businesses have a comprehensive understanding of their supply chain. They know, build relationships and engage their supply chain partners so there is value added collaboration to gain efficiencies in order to manage an effective supply chain.
Business owners who do not develop a deep appreciation for understanding their respective supply chains, frequently make decisions without the consideration of its impact on the critical financial areas of the company. These decisions, in many cases create financial difficulties for the business owner and certainly affect the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and other financial metrics.
This webinar will cover:
- What is a supply chain and how does it function end to end? Manufacturing and Service Industries

- Understand better the concept of supply chains and supply chain management.
- Have a better sense of the importance of stakeholder collaboration.
