In collaboration with the seven Pennsylvania Industrial Resource Centers (IRCs), this Supply Chain 101 program is available free of charge, exclusively for Pennsylvania manufacturers.
It is not uncommon for small to mid-sized businesses to get tangled up in inventory and supply chain issues. The supply environment has run in a steady state for decades; however, a new paradigm has emerged. This course helps manufacturing leaders to understand and become proficient in inventory & supply chain management.
This is an exceptional opportunity for our Pennsylvania manufacturers since our standard pricing for this program is $1,200 per company – up to 2 people ($1,000 for each additional participant from the same company) No more than 3 registered participants per company will be permitted.
