Overview

China has established itself as a powerhouse in the realm of advanced manufacturing, solidifying its position through the strategic utilisation of data and digitalization. This transformation has been pivotal, particularly in meeting the escalating demands of modern sectors such as E-commerce, where speed and efficiency are paramount. Companies like Cainiao and Shunfeng have played instrumental roles in pushing the boundaries of supply chain management. They've not only met but exceeded expectations by embracing innovative technologies and practices. These advancements have significantly enhanced the overall efficiency and effectiveness of supply chain operations.

The immersive overseas learning programme offers a comprehensive exploration of the logistics value chain, delving deep into its intricate structure and dynamics. Participants gain invaluable insights into the critical enablers of supply chain digitalisation, including automation, cutting-edge AI-based vision systems, sophisticated data analytics techniques, state-of-the-art robotics, and the evolving landscape of digital finance. Through this programme, participants not only grasp theoretical concepts but also engage in practical applications and real-world case studies. They acquire a nuanced understanding of how these key elements synergise to optimise supply chain processes, improve decision-making, enhance agility, and drive sustainable growth in today's dynamic business environment.
