Industrial Supply Chain Strategy

Industrial supply chains rely on a sequence of interconnected stages, each with distinct operational requirements that influence how tenants select locations, building specifications, and facility types. Understanding these interdependencies enables property professionals to anticipate demand drivers, articulate value using supply chain language, and match industrial assets precisely to client logistics models.

*This course is the Module 1 of the Applied Mini Course: Industrial & Logistics Real Estate. You may also enrol in the other standalone courses within the series, including Industrial Transactions and Development (Module 2); Industrial Asset Management (Module 3); and Industrial Leasing (Module 4).
