This workshop is designed especially for non-Supply Chain managers from engineering, sales, finance and IT departments to understand how the whole supply chain works so that they can help the organization to perform better. Today, the success of an organization depends on how well your supply chain performs.

For example, a lot of engineering decisions will impact the performance of your supply chain thus impacting your total product costs as well such as changes in materials used or packaging. Do you know that one of the key success factors of Ikea is their packing? Their designer will design the furniture with the end packing in mind as well as the simplicity of assembly the furniture. Look at the picture on the left, why do you think the Japanese changes the shape of watermelons?
