Assess the current state of supply chain recovery planning against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.
Designing Rapid Supply Chain Recovery Plans After Crises
A structured, applied course in supply chain recovery planning — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Most procurement disputes about supply chain recovery planning originate in a specification written too quickly. Warehouse performance on recovery planning is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. The content is relevant to those who own this aspect of procurement and supply operations and to those who are held accountable for its results. They leave able to brief senior management on supply chain recovery planning in terms that support a decision. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the procurement and supply operations capability rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Improvement in recovery planning stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme takes participants through supply chain recovery planning end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Applied research in procurement and supply operations consistently shows that early structure around recovery planning reduces downstream rework. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this area of procurement and supply operations ready to put in front of a decision maker.
