COURSE DESCRIPTION: Supply chain management is about the management of material and information flows in multi-stage produciton-distribution networks. Driven by global competition and enabled by advanced information technology, companies have aimed to reduce costs and increase responsiveness to changes in the market place. Supply chain management is the key to attain these objectives. A supply chain can be defined as a system whose constituent parts include material suppliers, production facilities, distribution services and customers linked together via the feed forward flow of materials and feedback flow of information. It is a collaborative, cross-enterprise operating strategy that aligns the flow of incoming materials, manufacturing, and downstream distribution in a manner responsive to changes in customer demand without creating surplus inventory. Supply chain management involves coordinating and integrating quite a lot of activities such as sourcing and procurement, production scheduling, order processing, manufacturing, assembly, inventory management, transportation, warehousing, distribution, delivery, and customer service. The planning and control of these activities in manufacturing and service organizations will be the addressed in this course. Students will be provided with the knowledge and tools necessary to develop, implement and sustain strategies for both designing supply chains and also for managing supply chain issues. The course will cover the major issues including: role of inventory, production-inventory models, supply contracts, bullwhip effect and information sharing, vendor-managed inventories and other distribution strategies, third party logistics providers, managing product variety, information technology and supply chain management international issues. The objective of this course is to develop an understanding of the 1) strategic role of supply chains, 2) the key strategic drivers of supply chain performance and 3) analytic methodologies for supply chain analysis.
