The overwhelming majority of businesses worldwide rely on complex and extensive supply chains to function. Even the smallest online retailers are dependent on manufacturers, wholesalers, warehousing services and logistics companies to fulfil their customers' orders. Achieving total independence is the goal for many organisations, though it proves impossible, or at least impractical, for most. Supply chain operations enable businesses to serve their target audiences efficiently, while the performance, productivity and profitability of both B2C and B2B organisations are directly influenced by the effectiveness of their supply chains. For the supply chain manager, the challenge lies in ensuring every link within the chain is robust, reliable and cost-effective. You can also explore our wider Supply Chain Management courses to gain a broader understanding of logistics, procurement and operational excellence.
