Strategic Supply Chain Management Capstone

Catalog description

Supply chains must be developed in support of organizational strategies and goals. This capstone course will focus on aligning SCM strategies with corporate goals through application of the knowledge gained from previous SCM courses and experience. The APICS Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model will be introduced along with other planning methods for developing SCM strategic business cases. A SCM experiential learning project will be developed throughout the semester with a final thesis required. 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.
