As globalization becomes more pervasive so does the inter-connectivity of supply chains across the globe. Latin-America has become essential for the supply of foods and commodities for the developed economies. These two phenomena has fueled the imperative to transform supply chains into green supply chains. Our approach is to explore ways to optimize the interaction between different actors of the supply chain as well as the interaction of the supply chain with the environment and new technologies.
With the advent of the digital age, expectations for procurement are no longer confined to the contribution to the bottom line. Backed by real-time access to market data and trends, procurement can offer valuable information for top-line strategic decisions. In addition, procurement - informed by detailed information, analytical tools, and collaboration technologies - will need to focus on traditional procurement activities to become more sophisticated in category management, supplier relationship management, and strategic sourcing. Surviving in this new digital reality will require procurement to move beyond bottom-line efficiency by embracing digital and transforming the supply chain to become a valuable strategic business partner. The content includes the adoption of world-class practices in procurement essentials such as suppliers management relationship, procurement fraud and digital procurement. The program is divided in 3 modules of 6 hours each.
