Enterprise Risk Management in the Global Supply Chain

Starts:  Jul 18, 2016 09:00 AM (ET)
Ends:  Jul 19, 2016 04:00 PM (ET)

Global trade is a growing circumstance for all companies who:

·         Sell overseas
·         Manufacture in foreign markets
·         Source in multiple countries
·         Have foreign affiliations
An important factor in managing these interests is how the "global supply chain" moves goods and service worldwide.
 
Experience has dictated that those companies that manage "risk and spend" within their supply chain will produce the best opportunity to succeed in sustainable operations, growth, and profitability.
 
Risk and supply chain professionals can specifically benefit from taking this two-day program as it offers a comprehensive overview of quality management, best practices, solutions, and SOPs in reducing risk and spend in global supply chain operations.
 
The workshop focuses on contemporary global risk exposures, then moves the curriculum towards real case studies, solutions, strategies, and business development practices, which are easy to comprehend and put into practice.
 
The instructor works hard to engage the student in all aspect of the learning process utilizing contemporary examples, state-of-the-art solution based master planning, skill set development, and participative training methods.
 
The workshop is designed to be an entertaining, interesting, and substantive learning experience.
