Supply Chain Management Certificate Program
Global Supply Chain Management Course Objectives:
Global Supply Chain Management is the integration of the activities that procure materials and services transforming them into immediate goods and final products, and deliver them to customers. These activities include purchasing and outsourcing activities, plus many other functions that are important to the relationship with suppliers and distributors. The supply chain includes all the interactions between internal operations, marketing, sales, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and customers. The chain includes transportation, scheduling information, cash and credit transfers as well as ideas, designs, and material transfers. The intent of the course is to teach students techniques and methods employed by supply chain managers to plan and control the supply chain operating systems. Students will apply quantitative methods, various analytical techniques as well as utilize practical experience in order to understand how to operate, design, plan and control supply chain operations. This course utilizes a set of operations management skills and tools that students can use to enable their companies to develop a competitive advantage in commercial environments that encompass global markets and competition, electronic business (e-business), and supply chain management. Students are expected to have a solid understanding of production and operations management in order to solve complex supply chain case studies.
