Course Overview

Supply Chain Finance Management examines supply-chain risk management and its contribution to informed business decisions. The course connects the assessment of supply-chain exposures with the choices that support continuity, coordinated operations, and responsible resource use. Participants explore how prevention, preparedness, and recovery planning can be integrated into routine management.

The program focuses on identifying relevant risks, evaluating their significance, and selecting responses that fit the organization's supply network and priorities. It considers how different approaches influence service delivery, resource requirements, and business performance. Participants develop a structured basis for creating a supply-chain risk-management plan and communicating the reasons behind their recommendations. The emphasis is on turning risk assessment into clear responsibilities and practical planning decisions.
