*This is a non-WSQ module.

ResiliencePLUS_Understanding and Building a Resilient Supply Chain

Introduction

The global landscape of supply chains is evolving with increased complexity and interconnectedness. In response to this, there is a growing demand for professionals who possess the skills to manage resilient supply chains effectively. This course aligns with the industry’s evolving focus on risk mitigation, sustainability, and adaptability, addressing the current imperative for businesses to navigate uncertainties successfully.

To ensure practical relevance, the training course leverages global best practises and presents case studies from industries that have successfully implemented resilient supply chain strategies. Participants will gain insights into proven methodologies, positioning them as valuable assets within the local industry. The economic stability and competitiveness of a region are intricately tied to the resilience of its supply chains. By equipping local industry professionals with advanced skills in supply chain resilience, Singapore stands to enhance its economic standing and attract investments. This course directly contributes to the long-term economic sustainability and growth of the local industry.

About the Programme

The increasing need for robust supply chain systems is driven by the growing uncertainty and global change. Factors such as the pandemic, geopolitical tensions, inflation, and climate change have made resilient supply chains crucial for businesses. However, many companies lack the internal skills and knowledge required to develop effective strategies to manage data and information for supply chain risk and resilience. This includes proficiency in disruption risk analytics and technology scanning for supply chain resilience.

This course aims to educate employees on supply chain resilience and develop a roadmap to enhance their company’s capability to build resilient supply chains. The 16-hour course will be conducted over 4 non-consecutive days, providing participants with an understanding of supply chain resilience trends and practical implementation in a corporate setting. It will empower individuals to create strategic action plans to improve their organisation’s supply chain resilience.
