Achieving Competitive Advantage Through the Supply Chain - L5M7

Purpose: On completion of this module, learners will be able to assess a range of processes that support the achievement of competitive advantage and improvements in organisational performance through its supply chain.

Aim: Competitive advantage is associated with the processes and procedures that an organisation has at its disposal to outperform its competitors. Many organisations see their supply chains as a significant source of achieving competitive advantage. It is therefore important that those with responsibility for managing the supply chain have a clear understanding of the approaches and techniques that are available to leverage the supply chain to achieve competitive advantage. This module is designed for such managers responsible for formulating plans and approaches to achieve competitive advantage for their organisations through the supply chain.
