Geopolitical tension, trade restrictions, transport disruption and sustainability requirements are causing many organisations to rethink where they source, manufacture and store goods. This course explains how to evaluate nearshoring, reshoring and diversification options and redesign supply chain networks to balance cost, service, risk and carbon. Participants learn network modelling concepts, total landed cost analysis, supplier and location assessment and implementation planning. A network redesign case study allows participants to apply the methods to realistic decisions.
