Course contents :
|
| Today, a firm can't be competitive without a good transportation and logistics network. Our goal is to understand the role and importance of transportation in the supply chain and in the economy. An overview of the different transportation modes: Road, Rail, Sea, Air, Pipeline and Intermodal transportation, allows supply chain manager to be aware of the performance of these different transportation modes in terms of costs, responsiveness, land use and environment. The course will give to students both fundamental and more advanced knowledge about distribution management. The entire distribution network will be taken into consideration. The course will furnish an understanding of the important roll played by distribution into modern industries and supply chains.
After these considerations, several case studies on Just-in-Time practices, Toyota Production System, Lean manufacturing , Reverse Logistics and Green Logistics are analyzed. |
