What does this course offer?
This course is designed for managers taking on key responsibilities and roles in new vehicle supply, whether at functions within the manufacturer at either regional headquarters or National Sales Company, or within supply chain partners such as logistics service providers. Through a mixture of interactive learning, tasks and simulation, the course aims to deliver core understanding and skills required to analyse the issues typically encountered as they impact at various points in the supply chain, and design and manage a supply strategy that is lean, agile and responsive to change. The course is built around ICDP’s research and consultancy in this area since 1994.
