When marketing pushes new campaigns but supply chain can't keep up, everyone loses momentum.
The situation this course is for
You're trained in industrial engineering, where systems matter. But when marketing launches initiatives without operational alignment, delays, miscommunication, and wasted resources follow. The gap between strategy and execution widens, especially when tools like SIPOC aren't extended into integrated planning. Without a unified framework, you end up firefighting instead of optimizing. This course closes that loop.
Who this is for
Industrial engineers leading or supporting strategic initiatives that span marketing and operations, especially in academic or early professional settings.
Who this is not for
Executives seeking high-level overviews, or specialists outside industrial systems and process design.
What you walk away with
- Map marketing strategies directly to supply chain capabilities
- Use SIPOC as a bridge between departments, not just a process tool
- Design feedback loops that keep operations aligned with market shifts
- Build implementation playbooks that stakeholders can follow without confusion
- Reduce execution lag between planning and delivery cycles

Before vs. after
Before
Marketing launches campaigns in isolation, supply chain scrambles to respond, and SIPOC remains a static document.
After
Marketing and operations move in sync, SIPOC guides execution, and every initiative has a clear operational path.
