This comprehensive workshop equips professionals with the analytical tools needed to assess and optimize financial performance across supply- and service-chain operations. Participants will learn to interpret financial statements, identify key performance drivers, benchmark operational processes, and apply a five-step methodology for profitability optimization: value-creation identification, shareholder impact mapping, profitability assessment, best-practice evaluation, and strategic improvement implementation. Case studies and interactive exercises emphasize how financial acumen supports supply-chain decision-making and drives measurable business value.
