What is the aim of this course?
This course will help you drastically improve your knowledge and skills in optimizing supply chain of any company through a series of practical cases. It is designed for people who want to become management consultants, business analysts or have to run and optimize supply chai on daily bases. In the course you will learn 3 things:
The course is based on my 14 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting companies and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, improvement and turn-arounds in biggest companies from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B sector that I worked for. On many occasions I had to optimize the whole supply chain side of the businesses I was responsible for. On the basis of what you will find in this course I have trained over 100 consultants, business analysts and managers who now are Supply Chain Directors, Operational Directors, COO, Investment Directors, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 28 000 students.
I teach through cases so most of the lectures are case studies showing some business problems solved in Excel. There will be also overview of main components of supply chain as well as some suggestion where you should look for improvements and savings. To every lecture you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels shown in the lecture so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modification, be applied by you in your work.
Why I decided to create this course?
Most consultants and business analysts are terrible at organizing operational issues. They treat the operations, especially the supply chain, as a black-box and try to avoid it at any cost. Technical things overwhelm them and they shy away from them. This approach is not the right one as you find elements of supply chain in every business. To make matters worse supply chain efficiency and performance has huge impact on the ability of any business to compete and grow. Everywhere you have some supply chain that you can optimize by using techniques that I will show in this course. Supply chain influence heavily other areas especially sales and marketing as well as production. Therefore, it is a good idea to have at least a general knowledge in supply chain. The funny things is that to be good at supply chain you do not even have to be technical at all. I have not finished any technical school and I am pretty good in finding significant improvements in supply chain.
To sum it up, I believe that if you want to build or to find improvements in any business you should master techniques related to optimizing supply chain. That is why I highly recommend this course not only to consultants or business analyst that have to advice their customer but also to owners, founders of businesses as well as supply chain managers and directors.
In what way will you benefit from this course?
The course is a practical, step by step guide loaded with tones of analyses, tricks, hints that will significantly improve the speed with which you find and analyze supply chain. There is little theory – mainly examples, a lot of tips from my own experience as well as other notable examples worth mentioning. Our intention is that thanks to the course you will know:
You can also ask me any question either through the discussion field or by messaging me directly.
