Supply chain analytics goes beyond managing the flow of information and products along the
supply chain; it's also about managing the cash flow, people, and ecosystem along the supply
chain. This approach to management is known as the profit, people, and planet triple bottom
line. Supply chain cash flow, or profit, concerns payments and trade financing between supply
chain parties. The people element of supply chains concerns managing relationships with
your customers and suppliers. Finally, the ecosystem, or planet, element of supply chains
concerns the environment where the supply chain operates. You therefore need to be aware
of your competition, government regulations, and your supply chain's social and
environmental impact in order to properly balance all three and gain a competitive
advantage.
In this course, you will explore how to measure and improve supply chain cash flow efficiency.
You'll also discover design strategies to achieve coordination with your partners and achieve
sustainability in the supply chain.
