Professor Richard Wilding, Professor and Chair of Supply Chain Risk Management at Cranfield School of Management, hosts this exclusive webinar focusing on how to best utilise your supply chain in an economic downturn to drive bottom-line value and ensure competitive advantage. 

He will reveal how companies can use supply chain management to optimise cash management, while he will also highlight how businesses need to control their "costs-to-serve" to guarantee survival, and revival, through the global recession.
