In this course, supply chain management is considered to be a development of business logistics in an inter-organizational environment.
The course starts with the beer game, an in-class pen-and-paper experiment, giving first-hand experience of behavior in supply chains. Then goals and prerequisites to analyze and configure supply chains will be discussed, including supply chain strategy, planning and controlling. The course concludes with recent supply chain trends and best practices for supply chain management in turbulent times.
To ensure that up to date business insights are given, representatives of top consulting and industrial enterprises will be invited to present their best practice solutions and discuss current trends and innovations with the students.
