Supply Chain & Logistics Management

About This Module

Supply chain is how stuff moves, waits, and sometimes disappears. Managers who only see the customer slide will be surprised by lead times, MOQs, and the vendor who smiled through the delay. Four chapters: procurement and vendors, warehousing and distribution, inventory systems, and global logistics. The goal is to ask better questions of the people who actually move the goods. A cheap unit price that arrives late is not cheap.
