WHAT IS THE COURSE STRUCTURE?

1. Fundamentals: international supply chains, trade, and production
Here we take a detailed look at contemporary supply chain thinking, strategies and concepts, and the driving political and economic forces that give shape to modern supply chains. We will also look at the impact of trade, tariff, and customs policy on supply chain arrangements.

In part three we focus on supply chain management practices with a focus on trade compliance, supply chain security, and control. We also examine the costs experienced by public and private sector actors, and how supply chain principles can be applied to achieve greater trade facilitation.
