Operations, Supply Chain & Procurement Challenges
Operations, Supply Chain & Procurement challenges put you inside the work of running processes that deliver on time and at cost. You'll build skills in process mapping, flowcharting and BPMN, sharpen capacity planning and scheduling, and use ERP navigation and benchmarking to find where work breaks down.
From there you'll tackle the harder edges — supply chain optimization, Lean Six Sigma DMAIC, 5-Whys & Fishbone root-cause analysis, and Kraljic matrix supplier segmentation — running RFP/RFI orchestration and vendor evaluation the way operations teams actually do. Each challenge you solve earns a verified credential you can share with recruiters.
