Who is this workshop for?
Efficient supply chain management not only offers a competitive advantage, but is also a decisive survival factor in increasingly volatile markets. Many companies are currently suffering from increased costs and a drop in demand. Rising interest rates on often increased inventories are cost drivers. Uncertainties in the supply chain and frequent disruptions are intensifying the situation.
Cost optimization in supply chains is not only about reducing expenses, but also about creating a more efficient, resilient and customer-centric operation. Active supply chain management offers great potential for short-term cost reduction and liquidity release, especially in the following areas:
- Production & Production Planning
- Inventory management
- Logistics Execution (Transportation & Warehousing)
This course offers practical insights and presents tried-and-tested methods for identifying and successfully leveraging cost optimization potential throughout the supply chain. The focus is on SAP-based examples.
Who is this workshop for?
- Supply Chain experts
- Decision-makers and IT managers along the value chain
- Managers, group leaders
- Teams or individuals who want to optimize costs in their supply chain
