Driving value, alignment and sustainability

Supply Chain Management is a five-day, multi-disciplinary programme designed to help you create and implement innovative strategies that can help your organisation serve customers effectively and efficiently.

We understand the challenges you face – from fast-paced globalisation, accelerating technological innovation to greater expectations of your customers. This programme is designed to address these issues through key concepts that underpin supply chain excellence. The learning is supported by three guiding principles: value, alignment and sustainability.

How you benefit

Value. Adopt value as a guiding principle to deliver superior managerial performance with significant business impact.
Alignment. Discover tools to align core processes for operational excellence.
Sustainability. Understand frameworks to manage risks and opportunities for sustainable supply chain management on a global scale.

Participant profile

The programme is designed for managers involved in creating, optimising or redesigning a supply chain. Participants should have experience in at least one of the following areas: operations, manufacturing, logistics, procurement, information technology management, marketing, new product development or distribution. They should either be responsible for, or contribute to, the supply chain decision-making process in their company.

This programme qualifies for the INSEAD Certificate in Global Management.

The Era of Linear Supply Chains May Soon Be Over

As supply chains are increasingly digitised, the most successful ones will evolve into platform-enabled ecosystems.

Rethinking Resilience in Global Supply Chains

Attempts to diversify may make supply chain disruptions more damaging when they occur.

Product Design in the Age of Variety

Consumers want more variety than ever before. This means product design needs to be rethought to avoid multiple and costly production lines.

Should you preannounce your innovation?

Twenty-first century supply chains are more global than ever before. And, inevitably, the greater the geographical reach, the greater the risk entailed. This is confirmed by research from INSEAD, which – as a leading international business school with a particularly strong reputation in operations management – has several experts in supply chain risk. They include Professor Enver Yücesan whose views about managing that risk are presented here.

Creating a socially responsible supply chain

Implementing a socially responsible supply network is fundamental to any CSR policy. The key is getting the structure right.

Innovating the green supply chain: where cold becomes the new ‘hot’

Proctor & Gamble's Ariel detergent 'Turn to 30' campaign, launched in 2006, was aimed at bringing about long-term change in behaviour by getting people to wash their clothes at 30 degree Celsius for the good of the environment, saving up to 40 per cent of energy used. Recently P&G came out with a detergent that washes at only 15 degree celsius, which is essentially cold water.
