The Supply Chain Academy
We started twenty years ago in The Netherlands. First in the separate arenas of education, consultancy and entrepreneurship. Growing in business seniority we learned to combine these three arenas in our problem solution for customers. The last ten years we incorporated our business activities into a result driven Supply Chain Academy solution for companies in European countries, the Middle East, and Asian countries.
The Supply Chain Academy, concentrates on your people. We challenge them to reach the highest form of learning, by a combination of action learning, consultancy, sharing knowledge, and reaching improvements in costs and performance.
“Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” — Warren Buffett
