Supply Chain Fundamentals are responsible for, now on a global scale, the delivery of value-added goods/services in any organization – public or private, and profit or non-profit. SC costs in total typically exceed 25% of the cost of doing business, and logistics-related assets (including inventory) can represent as much as 50% of a company’s total assets. This course will instruct and apply various key concepts of 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/distribution systems design, facility location decision process, and information handling in SC operations as competitive advantages in service-based emerging economies.
