Introduction
Within this unique and innovative course, we will be using the ‘SimFirm’ simulation software by Cesim to replicate real-life scenarios faced by managers within the Supply Chain function. The software integrates with all necessary departments such as logistics, production and distribution and allows you to recreate real-life situations and test out your decision-making capabilities with much lower stakes. By incorporating the macro factors such as competitors, industry changes and financial constraints, this simulation provides a unique opportunity to investigate and understand the varied approaches to supply chain management. Are you responsible for effective decision making relating to Supply Chain Management within your organisation? Do you want the opportunity to explore options for improving your process and understanding the real-world implications of any changes that you make? This Solid State Training course is a modern way to address an age-old problem and will allow you to develop ideas, consider strategies and implement changes at a grand scale that you would not feasibly be able to test in your company in real life. This unique insight is a powerful tool and one that will be of great benefit to your future growth.
