Description

This course focuses on effective supply chain strategies for companies that operate globally with emphasis on how to plan and integrate supply chain components into a coordinated system. It covers thoroughly the fundamentals of operations management by introducing students to the key concepts of global supply chain and logistics management. Accordingly, the course introduces and utilizes key issues such as risk pooling and inventory placement, integrated planning and collaboration, and information sharing in a network consisting of multi- suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and customers. Several of these factors are evaluated so that the overall performance of the chain is optimised.
