  Description  
     
  As customers demand faster deliveries, more innovation, lower total costs and a perfect quality, companies look for more efficient and speedy supply chains. At the same time, trends like mass customisation or lean manufacturing question the standard practices applied in most companies. Entire industries are experiencing fundamental restructuring due to these trends.

  Comments From Participants
 

The Management of Supply Chain, Purchasing and Outsourcing programme successfully dispelled some common misperceptions in supply chain management. The professor stimulated the participants to reflect on the learning and formulate their own thoughts and understanding. This is an extremely worthwhile programme.
