Supply Chain Analytics

Catalog description

A supply chain is a network of organizations that are involved in the different processes and activities that produce value in the form of products and services. Supply chain management is an essential tool for firms to achieve profit maximization as well as social responsibility. Innovations arise from three main sources: application of information technology, reconfiguration of the supply chain network, and modification of incentives. In this course, we will introduce analytical methods and innovative designs of supply chain management, with applications in both developed and emerging economies. We will address the following issues: cross-docking and automation; global project management and coordination; dynamic pricing and revenue management; humanitarian logistics and sustainability; and counter-strategy for illicit supply chains.
