Overview
Modern supply chains face unprecedented levels of disruption.
Geopolitical instability, cyber threats, supplier failures, transport disruption, inflation, pandemics and operational volatility have fundamentally changed how organisations must design and operate supply chains.
Traditional supply chains focused primarily on efficiency, lean inventory and cost reduction. However, highly efficient supply chains can become highly fragile when disruption occurs.
Resilience is now a strategic capability.
This course provides a practical and operationally focused understanding of how organisations can build more resilient, adaptive and disruption-ready supply chains.
Learners will explore:
- Supply chain risk
- Operational vulnerability
- Supplier resilience
- Business continuity
- Contingency planning
- Recovery capability
- Operational resilience metrics
- Crisis response
- Inventory resilience
- Risk governance
The programme combines operational case studies, risk exercises, contingency planning activities and resilience assessments to create immediately applicable capability.
This course is suitable for both commercial and defence supply chain environments.
