Welcome to Supply Chain Management! In this course, you’ll build a foundation in terms, concepts and phenomena in supply chain systems and processes. You will understand the scale, size, and complexity as well as the decision-making levels in the modern supply chain, and learn to assess the dynamics and impact of constituent processes and functions. You will learn quantitative tools and techniques for managing processes including statistical process control, queuing etc.
This course will begin by covering the concepts, methods and practices in the prevalent pedagogical content in this domain, and identify the settings amenable for improvement by recent advances in data availability and other domains like AI/ML, and optimisation amongst others. The course is divided across 5 weeks. You will learn that effective supply chain management involves coordinating activities across the entire supply chain, from sourcing raw materials to delivering finished goods to customers. We will discuss key concepts such as production function, make vs buy decision, quality management, product and service designs, facility location selection, capacity planning, layout design, and last but not least bullwhip and learning effects.
