Supply Chain Management
In today’s globalised world,
supply chain management
plays a key role in securing a
competitive advantage. It’s a
relatively new management
concept and involves more
than operations or logistics.
Today’s supply chain manager
needs to have a “T-shaped”
competency profile, with
emphasis on increasingly
important soft skills.
Contacts
The T-shape assumes that today’s
supply chain professionals have a
deep understanding of material and
information flows in modern
business practice.
Furthermore, an increasingly
important role of supply chain
management lies in understanding,
enhancing and streamlining
communication with other roles in
the organisation like Finance, R&D
and Marketing & Sales. In future,
the effectiveness of the supply chain
will come from the manager’s ability
to build sustainable business value
through collaboration with his
colleagues in other departments.
