Strategic Supply Chain Management

Catalog description

Strategic Supply Chain Management is the capstone course in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) major. This course will focus on applying knowledge from previous courses to understand the impact of effective SCM on the organization's productivity and competitiveness. Students will explore the links between overall business strategy and supply chain strategy, and will develop an in depth understanding of the principles of supply chain strategy. Several simulations will be utilized to provide hands-on experience with the challenges of SCM, including a competitive game in which student teams manage a simulated business using an Enterprise Resource Planning system.
