IS  SUPPLY CHAIN  AN INTEGRAL PART OF BUSINESS PROCESSES ? 
Is the question that need to be answered and understood before you choose this course.

Imagine you are  buying  a computer, what do you look for and want ,  you look for “Intel inside”, Standardized configurations and Compatibility but buy a less expensive computer that is unique and “just for myself” one.
In today’s Hyper competitive Market space, supply side commodification  and demand side customization   is the challenge faced by many organisations.
