What is the Mini MBA Supply Chain Track?
A Mini MBA is a focused professional training programme covering essential business and management concepts. The Mini MBA Supply Chain Track applies this concept specifically to supply chain management, giving participants structured exposure to the operational and tactical areas that drive supply chain performance.
