Logistics and Supply ChainSupply Chain Risk Management and Resilience Planning
From port disruptions and fuel shortages to currency shocks and single source dependency, African supply chains face a distinct set of risk exposures that generic frameworks often overlook. This course teaches participants to map supply chain risk systematically, quantify exposure and design mitigation strategies including dual sourcing, buffer inventory and contractual risk transfer. A disruption simulation exercise tests each delegate's response plan under realistic pressure.

- Quantify the financial and service impact of key supply chain disruptions
