Digitalization is nowadays the fundamental basis where the greatest gains in growth and competitiveness for companies lie. The digitization needs of companies in require highly qualified professionals to help them in their digital transformation. This will involve addressing the changes that need to take place in people, organizations and business models, beyond the use of a specific technology.
This course will instruct and apply various key concepts of Supply Chain (SC) and the related decision making tools to solve practical supply/demand problems in the context of global supply chains.
Students will learn core SC-related concepts including time-based inventory management, warehousing, transportation and distribution systems design, facility location decision process, and information handling in SC operations as competitive advantages in service-based emerging economies. SCs are concerned with the efficient integration of suppliers, factories, warehouses and stores so that products are distributed to customers in the right quantity and at the right time. One of the primary objectives is to minimize the total supply chain cost subject to various service requirements. SCs are responsible for, now on a global scale, the delivery of valueadded goods/services in any organization – public or private, and profit or non-profit.
The course explores important supply chain metrics, primary tradeoffs in making supply chain decisions, and basic tools for effective and efficient supply chain management, production planning and inventory control, order fulfillment and supply chain coordination. We will also investigate topics such as global supply chain design, logistics, and outsourcing, several other recent supply chain innovations"
