This course is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the supply chain's significant impact on a company's financial performance and how utilizing data and optimization techniques can drive cost savings and strategic decision-making in today’s turbulent business environment.
Our course has three main goals:
• First, you will learn how supply chain management serves as a powerful lever for cost savings through effective management of products and services flows, information flows, and financial flows. You will learn optimization techniques to facilitate strategic decision-making to manage these flows along the entire supply chain.
• Second, the course explores how supply chains can mitigate risks of today’s turbulent times through operational flexibility and aligning incentives between supply chain partners. You will learn how to develop collaborative and global strategies which benefit the entire supply chain.
• Finally, the course highlights the potential of new technologies for supply chain management. Here we are also in an age of turbulence, with advancements in computing power and communication speed rapidly yielding new and innovative technological solutions.
With the foundational understanding of the supply chain and its potential for optimization, you will be equipped to creatively adopt new technologies in your own supply chain.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
