Description

In this course participants examine the basic concepts and tools of supply chain management within the broader framework of integrated intra- and inter-firm operations.

The aim of the course is to bring together related but traditionally separate sub-disciplines of management: operations management, which deals with the planning, scheduling and control of production activities within the business firm, and supply chain management, which focuses on the market-integrated production activities of networks or chains of specialised firms that sequentially convert raw materials into increasingly complex intermediate and final products. Although these two sub-disciplines have been taught at universities as separate management subjects, it is increasingly apparent that they should be combined. The sourcing of inputs from upstream suppliers and the distribution of outputs to downstream customers cannot be separated from the management of in-house production.

Prerequisite: This course is offered by the MBT Program. All students enrolling in MBT courses must meet the work experience requirements.
