Introduction to the module
Effective and efficient management of the Supply Chain has become even more important in recent years given that product life cycles are shrinking, and competition is growing in intensity. Demand planning and optimizing global supply networks represents a great challenge as well as a tremendous opportunity for today’s organizations. This course will provide students with a hands-on understanding of the strategic role of global Supply Chain Management (GSCM), how to manage and improve supply chain processes and performance. Students will explore important global supply chain metrics, the primary tradeoffs in making supply chain decisions, and the basic tools for effective and efficient supply chain management, production planning and inventory control, order fulfillment and supply chain coordination. Several recent and influential innovations such as revenue management, vendor managed inventories, revenue sharing, radio frequency identification (RFID) and supply chain software solutions will be presented and discussed.
