Strategic Supply Chain Performance

Supply chains rarely fail at execution alone. More often, breakdowns occur when strategy, performance measurement, customer expectations, and technology evolve in isolation rather than as an integrated system.

This module moves beyond operational improvement into the strategic decisions that shape supply chain performance — using your own organization and experience as the primary context for analysis.
