Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 10/29/2009
The International Consortium for Organizational Resilience (ICOR), the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), and Competitive Insights Advantage have launched an elearning course that focuses on the mitigation of supply chain risk. Based on Norwich University’s Master’s of Business Continuity Management Program, Supply Chain Risk Mitigation is an interactive “live” elearning opportunity.
Supply Chain Risk Mitigation is the first in a series of four courses designed to introduce the inter-dependent functions of supply chain management with an emphasis on operating in today’s global environment. It highlights how traditional supply chain management decisions are made and the risks that organizations are now facing regarding the potential disruption to company performance and the financial consequences of those disruptions to the supply chain.
The course concludes by focusing on the primary ways to create mitigation strategies that can be applied to add resiliency to the operation while balancing cost, service and risk.
