Highlighted Sessions
The AAA Supply Chain
We will examine the power of AAA enterprise management – Agility, Adaptability and Alignment. Agility is about how an enterprise can respond fast to the needs of the market and the condition of the supply network. Adaptability is about how to adapt the manufacturing and business strategies as time changes. Alignment is about how to align the incentives of your partners so that the whole supply chain can be synchronized for excellent business performance. Most of the concepts and practices that we have explored in this week will be put into a framework for action.
Value-Creating Supply Chains
Companies that have built super-efficient supply chains found that they could make use of such efficiencies to create new business solutions, new products, and new values to support the company. In this way, supply chains are not just supporting the company as a back office operation but have value creation propositions of crucial importance to top organizational strategists. Examples of such value-creating supply chains can be found in semiconductor, apparel, cement, steel, retail and even basic agricultural sectors. The program demonstrates how such value propositions can be created.
Supply Chain Integration: Managing the Information, Material and Financial Flows
When you outsource or offshore involving an emerging economy, the challenge of integrating the information, material and financial flows is inherently much greater. We will use the example of PCH International, a company based in Shenzhen, China, that serves multi-nationals in the electronic high tech market. The challenge here is more than sourcing and manufacturing, but the whole order fulfillment process, as well as the way to finance the inventory in the supply chain when many of the suppliers in China are small or median-size manufacturers with limited means to borrow money in the financial market. It requires innovative solutions to integrate the three key flows in a supply chain.

 This program is excellent. I have learned a lot in a number of areas and
have developed further knowledge in others, acquiring a broad understanding of supply chain management in a very short time frame. Stanford has lived up to its reputation for excellence in education.
