From raw materials to final delivery, supply chain management covers a gamut of activities that are essential for businesses.

And, to fully optimise the flow of the goods, information, money as well as the rest of the FIVE FLOWS OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT, the data is collected at each hand-over point (HOP) in the supply chain operation.

Be it procurement, product development, manufacturing, warehousing or shipping – they all need to make sure they can credibly claim to have done their job satisfactorily. 

It is an art form to convert massive amounts of data into useful reports and visualizations.

Global Supply Chain Group started off with major supply chain transformation projects for a global industrial corporation, and over the course of two decades and over 400 projects, we have deeply scrutinized more than 4,000 global players comprising supply chains of almost every industry in every part of this globe. Our collaboration partners are important, and share our ethos.

We cover the basics only if it relevant and necessary to the masterclass. We discuss the theory only when it is practically oriented. 

Our philosphy for the masterclasses is simple – For the masters, by the masters, of the masters.

If you are a newbee to the world of supply chain, then this masterclass is not for you. You are better off buying a text book on supply chain management – we can recommend a few of them in this site.

In general, the emphasis is on the stuff that is rarely covered in the text books, or cannot be covered in the text books. 

Yes, you will. You can see a pro-forma of the certificate in the page above.

For customised masterclasses, designed for a company, a customised certificate is delivered.

Most supply chain managers have spent at least some time in supply chain analytics because data is the back bone of supply chain management.

Without a clear understanding of data handling, safekeeping and analytics, a supply chain career is incomplete. Over the last 30 years in supply chain consulting, we have rarely seen anyone climb up the corporate ladder without this grounding. 

1. Our masterclasses are distinctive because:

   1. Focus on the topic at hand
   2. Practical bend – emphasis on supply chain management, rather than on logistics, or procurement, or any of the other diverse components of SCM
   3. Opportunity to learn from the recognised global masters in the topic who have actually worked in the arena for a minimum of two decades.
   4. Executive orientation – not a student perspective
   5.  Conveniently purposeful, and self-paced.
