AISCR FLAGSHIP EXECUTIVE MASTERCLASS
October 27, 2026 | 1 Day | Live Online
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Facility location decisions are among the most critical long-term strategic investments an organization makes. In African and emerging markets, they must account for infrastructure variability, border delays, regulatory fragmentation, urban congestion, and informal market structures. A poorly positioned distribution center can permanently increase cost-to-serve and weaken competitive advantage.
Purpose of Masterclass
To provide structured frameworks and quantitative tools for evaluating distribution center location decisions in emerging markets.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- Align supply chain configuration with corporate and growth strategy
- Evaluate cost–service–risk trade-offs rigorously
- Design resilient yet cost-effective network structures
- Integrate regionalization and global sourcing strategies
- Translate strategy into measurable executive KPIs
