| Course contents : | Interest in supply chain management, both in industry and in academia, has grown rapidly over the past several years, and continues to grow. A number of forces have contributed to this trend: the severe competition in today's global markets, the increasing variety of products, the products with shorter and shorter life cycles, the heightened expectations of customers, etc. Many of the companies facing these difficulties have discovered the magnitude of savings that can be achieved by planning and managing their supply chains more effectively. Supply chain management is defined as a set of approaches utilized to efficiently coordinate all the organizational units along a supply chain in order to improve the competitiveness of a supply chain as a whole. This course treats the fundamental topics of supply chain management: supply chain network design, production process design and facility layout, aggregate planning, managing inventories in a supply chain, master production scheduling and material requirements planning, the value of information in a supply chain (the bullwhip effect), sourcing and pricing decisions, transportation decisions, information technology and decision support systems for supply chain management. |
