“All we are doing is looking at the timeline, from the moment the customer gives us an order to the point when we collect the cash, and we are reducing the timeline by reducing the non-value adding wastes.”

Taiichi Ohno, father of Toyota Production System (TPS)

The focus of supply change management is on cooperation and trust, and recognizing that properly managed the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts.

The main objective of SCM training is to provide students with the knowledge to improve overall supply chain organizational performance and customer satisfaction by enhancing product and service delivery to the customer. It is the management of upstream and downstream relationships with suppliers and customers to deliver superior customer value at less cost to the supply chain to achieve a more profitable outcome for all parties in the chain. The self-interest of one party has to be set aside for the benefit of the entire chain.

Effective development and management of your supply chain network will cut your costs and enhance your customer value through supplier relationship management.
