About this course

Skip About this course

Competitivity, time saving, and the increase of profit have become the main concern to micro, small and medium companies (SMEs) in Latin America in order to stay current in their markets.

Have you ever wondered how the supply chain is designed? This course will provide all the tools you need to do it successfully.

Even though logistics may seem like a complex process which only applies to large companies, actually micro and small companies use these processes on their day to day operations. They simply need to be organized, acknowledged and articulated to get the most out of them.

With this online course you will learn about basic concepts necessary for the articulation of logistical processes with operational efficiency, through the design and planning of sales, marketing and operations.
