Background of the Seminar "SCM (Supply Chain Management) Reform," which directly impacts corporate profitability through demand forecasting, supply-demand adjustments, and production/procurement planning, is a core challenge that modern management must address. Many companies face risks such as deteriorating cash flow due to excess inventory and reduced operating profits due to lost sales opportunities if reform is stalled.

Furthermore, in a globalized and digitized supply chain, threats such as business disruption and loss of social trust due to cyberattacks are also increasing.

This seminar will explain key decision-making points for creating a competitive advantage, focusing on two main pillars: "Proactive SCM Reform," which forms the backbone of sustainable supply chain management, and "Cyber Resilience," which supports business continuity.
