Supply Chain Risk and Resilience in Healthcare Level 3

Introduction

Surveys and studies have concluded that, for a variety of reasons, supply chain risk is increasing globally and that supply chain resilience is increasingly a competitive differentiator. The financial impact of supply chain disruptions can be devastating and are often not understood until it is too late. Supply chain strategies driven primarily by cost management and delivery improvements are no longer comprehensive enough to ensure competitive success. Unfortunately, showing a hard ROI for risk management initiatives is a difficult sell.

This new course provides knowledge and tools to guide you through understanding the choices available to your organization to manage supply chain risk and enhance the resiliency required for long term sustainability. Structured in three levels, in Level 3 we build upon the first two levels and expand on our appreciation for all the known tools, techniques, methodologies and solutions to provide a comprehensive road map to continuously identify, assess, mitigate and manage supply chain risks.

In Level 3, toolsets are developed and case studies offered that delve into the impact of risk on various aspects of your organization.

It is no longer sufficient for supply chain strategies to be primarily driven by cost management and delivery improvements. As a learner, upon completion of the three levels, you will acquire knowledge and insight that enables you to identify, assess, mitigate and manage supply chain risks. This will culminate in earning the Supply Chain Risk and Resiliency Certificate.

Scope of this Course

Level 3 is the capstone course to SCR&R on edukazi. The course will demonstrate the SCR&R mantra of “Know sooner - Act faster!”.

While supply chain management has evolved, in terms of improving organizations’ efficiency by applying tools, methods and new technology, vulnerabilities and risks continue to be exposed through globalization of the supply chain arena. Level 3 combines the knowledge from levels 1 and 2 into a comprehensive body of knowledge on identifying, assessing, mitigating and managing supply chain risk and ensuring a resilient supply chain.

The course utilizes current research and best practices applied in global supply chains including “Supply Chain Risk Management: An Emerging Discipline,” Schlegel and Trent, CRC/Press, published in 2015. Level 3 will also leverage online resources, video clips from exemplar companies, personal interaction with the authors, Global Risk Indexes, Global Risk Standards and will require an Executive Report Out process, much like an MBA class.
