APICS CTSC
Over the last decade, global Supply Chains have witnessed significant diruptions triggered by environmental, macro-economic, and technological shifts as well as major geopolitical conflicts. As a result, Supply Chain leaders across every industry and their extended enterprise are realizing the need to be prepared for future crises and be ever-ready to realign their businesses to better serve customers in this disuptive world.
