Supply-chain direction: network strategy, resilience and responsible sourcing
A course for supply-chain directors and senior leaders: how to set the network operating model as a governance choice, how ISO 28000 and ISO 22301 frame security and continuity across the chain, how inventory policy under IAS 2 is a service and a cash decision, how OECD due diligence and ISO 20400 guide responsible procurement, and how ISO 31000 and COSO turn residual risk into board reporting. Five modules, each with a worked example, and a 10-question final quiz. Based on cited official catalogue pages and guidance. This course does not cover CBAM, the EU Deforestation Regulation or the battery passport. Not an accredited qualification.
What you will learn
- Explain and apply: Set a supply operating model — make or buy, network nodes, inventory placement and critical flows — as a board-level governance choice.
- Explain and apply: Use ISO 28000 and ISO 22301 to require a security and continuity system that covers the supply chain, not only a site plan on a slide.
- Explain and apply: Direct inventory policy so IAS 2 measurement and write-downs, service and cash are decided together and evidenced under internal control.
- Explain and apply: Apply OECD due diligence and ISO 20400 so responsible sourcing is a management system, without confusing it with product-specific EU trade instruments.
- Explain and apply: Report residual supply risk, investment and exceptions to the board using ISO 31000 and COSO, not only an on-time-in-full figure in green.
