Developing and implementing supply chain strategy

Date of Event Tuesday 15 May 2012
Duration 09.45 - 16.30 (Registration 09.30)
Venue Oxford
Details

Research has shown that only 10% of all strategies yield the intended results. Many reasons have been cited for this, including the strategies being inappropriate, their changing as soon as they are devised, their requirements not being communicated or inconsistencies between strategies, measures and actions. Some, or all, of the above are probably true to some extent. Decisions such as outsourcing, off-shoring, service proposition changes and systems implementation can make or break a business. Choosing the right strategies, developing and implementing plans to realise those strategies and managing the resultant changes are vital.

Course content:

This seminar is intended to help senior teams understand what tools and techniques are available for the efficient development of supply chain strategy, including Competitive Space, Hoshin Kanri, etc, to deliver cost reduction, improve asset turns and/or enhance service. We will also consider how to prevent initiative overload, establish a balance change portfolio and how to monitor strategy execution.

Learning outcomes:

  • To allow participants to reflect on their supply chain strategy approach within their business 
  • To show delegates how to select the correct strategy

Benefits:

Most organisations have a business strategy, but many have not designed a specific supply chain strategy, which can operationalise and support your business strategy.

Your supply chain strategy is to establish how you work with your supply chain partners, including suppliers, distributors, customers, and even your customers’ customers. As the marketplace becomes more competitive, it is critical to reinforce existing relationships and work together.

Who is this course for?

This master class is designed for those responsible for forming supply chain strategy.

Fees: Members - £30; Non-members - £60
