Instructor Daniel Stanton spells out how supply chains function and shows how to leverage the basic principles of supply chain management to mitigate risks and manage your cash flow. Using practical examples, Daniel shows how to determine whether something is a bargain, how to think about and prepare for supply chain disruptions, and how to apply supply chain principles to your daily life.
