Executive Lunch & Learn Series

Supply Chain Management is the systemic, strategic coordination of the traditional business functions within a particular company and across businesses within the supply chain, for the purpose of improving the long-term performance of the individual companies and the supply chain as a whole. There are two major roles of Supply Chain Management:

• A Physical Function – To convert raw material into goods, transport them from one point in the SC to the next point and ultimately to the consumer, managing time, cost and quality
• A Market-Mediation Function – To insure that the variety of goods reaching the marketplace matches what consumers want to buy

We hope you can join us for our upcoming Lunch & Learn led by Dr. James Keebler and learn what leading companies are doing to improve their performance and profitability utilizing various supply chain initiatives.
