Description
Any business that sells a finished product or service to a customer manages a supply chain, and that supply chain impacts almost every other business function. Salespeople wouldn't have anything to sell without a supply chain supplying products. Finance wouldn't be able to measure profitability without a supply chain managing supplier and manufacturing costs. Supply chain management is a make-or-break factor when it comes to being competitive in the marketplace. This course teaches what a supply chain is, and the role that it plays in business.
