Course Description

The world, with its commercial and organizational interdependencies, is drawing ever closer together. Solutions and strategic approaches can no longer only be pursued on a regional or national level. What's needed is a holistic view. But how can we get there?

Knowing your direct suppliers and managing your direct suppliers' processes alone is no longer sufficient. Multi-tier supply chain visibility is imperative for taking pre-emptive action within your supply network. Research shows that the best way to understand complex relationships is through graphical representation.

A very informative module in relation to basic logistical mapping, allowing the understanding behind the method to achieve the aim of recording the valued outputs of activities such as brainstorming etc. without excessive and/or exhaustive measures. Richard, thank you for your comment. I am just going to take this opportunity to emphasise that the supply chain mapping covered in this module is intended to be wider than 'logistics'. Indeed, for many service industries (especially PSCs) the real risk is the subcontractor tasked to conduct work on your behalf. Great work, and thank you for the comment - Ian Beers (MSSG Performance Director).
