Course Overview

Supply Chain Finance Management (Advanced) focuses on integrating supply-chain risk management into organizational planning and decision-making. The course examines how a structured view of suppliers, operating dependencies, and response options supports continuity and informed resource decisions. Participants explore how to tailor risk-management arrangements to their supply network and business priorities.

The program connects assessment with practical prevention, mitigation, and recovery planning. It considers how response choices can work together and how responsibilities can be embedded in routine supply-chain activities. Participants develop a basis for reviewing proposed measures, coordinating contributions, and maintaining a relevant risk-management plan. The emphasis is on making preparedness a shared management activity supported by clear decisions and organized follow-through.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Assess supply-chain risks in relation to organizational priorities and operating dependencies.
• Evaluate the fit of prevention, mitigation, and recovery measures for defined scenarios.
• Compare alternative responses using their practical requirements and intended contribution.
• Develop an integrated supply-chain risk-management plan for a defined business context.
• Assign responsibilities for maintaining and applying the agreed risk-management approach.
• Incorporate preparedness and response planning into routine supply-chain decisions.
• Review a risk-management plan as supplier and operating conditions develop.

Practical Application

Apply the learning to coordinate supply-chain preparedness across business activities and responsibilities.

• Integrated continuity arrangements: Connect supplier considerations, operational dependencies, and response actions within a shared planning approach.
• Clear decision ownership: Define who assesses options, approves actions, and maintains the information needed to support supply-chain preparedness.
• Relevant management reviews: Revisit planning assumptions and response arrangements as the organization's supply network and priorities evolve.
