Doing business in China is like no where else in the world. Both local and foreign companies face a host of challenges in developing efficient supply chain processes. For local companies, developing and implementing current supply chain models is the next step in remaining globally and locally competitive. Building a strong operations and supply chain team is therefore fundamental. For multinational companies, the same holds true in strengthening supplier management and downstream supply chain operations. Knowledge of local practices and culture are critical.

What these different challenges show us is an underlying demand for supply chain professionals and talent. The supply of these individuals however, is simply not able to fulfill current requirements.
