Introduction to the module
Effective and efficient management of seamless flow in 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 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 flow supply chain within and between organizations, how to manage and improve flow supply chain processes and performance in an organization. Students will explore important quality supply chain metrics, the primary tradeoffs in making supply chain decisions, and the basic tools for effective and efficient flow supply chain strategies I an organization, 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.
