Sourcing Excellence (Coursera)

Management & Leadership Business

Supply Chains are made up of a network of companies from the initial raw materials to the ultimate consumer of the finished product. Within this network of companies, there are three ongoing flows: products, information, and finances. To properly understand and manage the supply chain, you need to understand all the flows. If you do not consider all of the flows, you will miss opportunities or sub-optimize parts of the supply chain.

Introduction to KPIs: Measuring Success in Business (Coursera)

Business

“What gets measured gets done” If we measure something, we are more likely to do it. This idea is important for people who work in business. They learn that the main problem is not deciding what to measure but figuring out how to measure it. After measuring, they still need to decide how to judge the results (the "metric") and how to track if a new product is successful over time (KPIs). This is a key concern for everyone in business because picking the wrong thing to measure can cause a business to fail.
