How do you link supply chain strategy to your corporate business plan?

The supply chain choices you make today have a critical influence on strategic business outcomes. What do you need to know to make more effective decisions about outsourcing, suppliers and partners, logistics systems, inventory management policies, customer needs, and product architectures in the current environment?

Supply Chain Strategy & Management, a unique, two-day, executive program featuring faculty from the MIT Sloan School of Management and the MIT Engineering School, offers a new and innovative strategic approach to supply chain design. You’ll learn about:

• the role of supply chain design in business strategy
  
• supply chain integration, strategic partnering, and outsourcing
  
• forces that influence supply chain structure
  
• a framework for making sourcing decisions and assessing end-to-end chain capabilities
  
• a framework for integrating product development, process development, and supply chain development
  
• the role of decision support systems in the management of the supply chain
  

Case studies will be used by participants to illustrate the effect of demand variability, supply chain lead times, centralized information, and centralized decision making on supply chain performance.
