Foundations of Intelligent Supply Chain Management

Effective logistics and supply chain management is central to organisational growth and competitiveness.

This micro-credential is designed and delivered by Professor Ben Fahimnia and his team of supply chain experts, aiming to familiarise forward-thinking leaders with the tools, technologies and approaches that are essential to design, plan, manage, and optimise the complex supply chains of today.

Particular emphasis is placed on real-world challenges of managing complex supply chains, and industry best practice in the use of advanced analytics and AI-empowered tools to transform procurement, logistics, production, warehousing, distribution and retail fulfilment operations.

The program provides an interactive and engaging space in which participants will apply what they learn by role-playing scenarios, evaluating alternative decisions, and examining the business outcomes of those decisions. It will also offer a unique networking opportunity through exchanging ideas with team members while developing competencies in intelligent supply chain management.
