MBA in SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Overview:

Supply chain management (SCM) includes the strategic design of this network and choice of its capacity; the tactical planning of this capacity and related management of production, inventory, and logistics activities; and the operational control of the flows of materials, information, and money and the stocks of physical goods in this network. The goal of SCM is to maximize the economic value that can be generated by managing these decisions. Depending on the context, this may involve an objective of profit/margin maximization or cost minimization.

Course Details:

This course explores how firms can make better SCM strategic and tactical choices. The course includes the following units:

1. Inventory Planning (both single stage and multiple stages);
2. Coordination;
3. The Inventory-Order Interface; and
4. Network Design.

The aim of the course is to provide both strategic insights and tactical knowledge needed by supply chain consultants and managers. The course format includes lectures, case discussions, analyses of successful supply chain management practices, and, depending on availability, practitioner guest lectures. The course learning objectives are to teach students how and when to implement the tools of SCM, and to provide them with rigorous and practically relevant SCM education from the point of view of a strategic, high-level manager or consultant.
