Confronted with tight margins and intense competition, companies are increasingly embracing supply chain economics management as a way to reduce costs and time and serve customers better. Maximizing supply chain performance, however, relies on the integration of various information flows and systems across an organization (finance, marketing, logistics and distribution).
This program views a supply chain as an integrated system driven in large part by customer demand. For this reason, supply chain managers must coordinate CRM with the right economic information to increase supply chain performance. Using Activity-Based Cost and Revenue Management to optimize the supply-demand value chain, this program provides participants with an actionable toolkit to link financial information to the operational metrics of a supply chain economics.
Designed as a companion offering to the Kellogg School's Supply Chain Management program, this program provides proven strategies for designing and analyzing supply chain economics and performance metrics so that your supply chain is successful both operationally and financially. The two programs are designed so they may be taken in either sequence.
