If your goal is certification, this course covers Basics of Supply Chain Management and can assist your exam preparation for ASCM CPIM Part 1. 

Achieving excellence in managing a supply chain is essential for businesses to be successful.  The challenge with globalization is that time and distance are added to supply chains which translates to more cost, complexity and risk.  This as well becomes an opportunity.  Successfully navigating the complexities and risks provides a competitive advantage and sets you and your organization well above the rest for continued growth and success.
