CFOEd® Financial-Supply Chain Management Connection On-Demand Courseware:
A must-have for all Supply Chain Management Professionals
One of the greatest challenges businesses face today is providing a competitive return to investors.
- All companies - public and private - compete against each other for investors' dollars.
- Companies offering a competitive return tend to prosper and grow.
- Those that don't are limited in their ability to grow and, many times, cease to exist.
Providing a competitive return is becoming more complex because of:
- Increasingly demanding customers.
- Heightened competition.
- Ever-changing technologies.
"C-level" managers (CEOs, CFOs, and the like) are seeking new solutions to meet this challenge. Supply
chain management (SCM) has the potential to provide these solutions -- and, in doing so, move SCM
from the "backroom to the boardroom." At many companies, however, several factors inhibit SCM's boardroom debut:
- Many C-level managers hold a traditional view of supply chain management and do not fully recognize its
potential impact on all areas of financial performance:
- Growth
- Profitability
- Capital utilization
- Unfortunately, the traditional view is narrowly defined in terms of SCM's effect on only one aspect
of overall financial performance : operating costs.
- Many SCM professionals do not speak the "language of finance." This means they fail to articulate the real
value of their solutions at the C-level.
The Financial-Supply Chain Management Connection On-Demand teaches you how supply chain solutions can
help improve a company's overall financial performance. The examination is conducted from a chief
financial officer's perspective since the CFO is a key player in signing off on performance-improvement initiatives.
