Supply Chain Resilience and Risk gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of types of supply chain risk and resilience strategies and redundancy, then builds the skills to apply supply chain mapping, business continuity for supply and risk monitoring and early warning in real work. Procurement, logistics and supply chain courses for buyers, planners and managers building resilient, cost-effective supply. Demand for these skills is expected to rise strongly by 2027.
