A critical component of any procurement strategy, global sourcing is the focus of this course. It is especially important today to integrate global sourcing decisions with inbound logistics and to consider total cost implications of global vs. domestic sourcing. The course examines low-cost country sourcing both from the point of view of barriers and facilitators. From Africa and Asia to Europe and Latin America, you will learn about sourcing around the world, including sourcing in the U.S. and Mexico. This Course also deals with types of intermediaries (customs brokers, 3PLs and trading companies) as well as freight and payment terms. You will gain the ability to evaluate global sourcing alternatives and to communicate in a cross-cultural context.
