About This Course
This course has been developed to give learners an overview and understanding of what are supply chains, how they work and their critical importance in global trade. The Global Supply Chain The Three Flows course builds on the concept of the three flows in supply chains: data, product and financial flows.
When these three flows work smoothly the whole system moves in a continuous loop. The coordination and maintenance of all the moving parts are required to make this work well.
Disruptions to any of these three flows will result in consequences at different points in the supply chain which can be both costly and time consuming to correct or change. In this course, you will learn the following:
Data flows and what kinds of data are collected, what the data is used for and what technologies are used to collect the data.
Product flows and cross border trade.
The concept of forward flows, which expands on channel partners, and reverse flows.
Financial flows including cash flow, payment methods and financial issues in trade.
