The Fresh Connection company profile

The Fresh Connection is a cross-functional business simulation that offers supply chain management best practices from real-world situations. It aims to help professionals develop necessary skillsets for the alignment and management of supply chain strategies for their companies. Participants are made to work in four teams and represent the functional roles of sales, purchasing, supply chain, and operations. The Fresh Connection is designed for professionals who work as a part of cross-functional teams along the value chain, including general managers, operations managers, production managers, supply chain managers, logistics managers, warehouse managers, sales and marketing managers, financial managers, procurement managers and buyers, and planners and forecasters. The Fresh Connection was launched in 2008 by Inchainge, a Netherlands-based consultancy specialized in developing and marketing of simulations and learning programs in supply chain management and supply chain finance.
