• Supply Chain Drivers and Metrics
• Demand Forecasting in a Supply Chain
• Advanced Demand Forecasting
• Aggregate Planning and S&OP

After successful completion of the module, students should have acquired an understanding of the basic principles and concepts of Supply Chain Management. The first lecture elaborates on this through the focus on performance measurement and drivers and metrics of SCs, then the focus shifts to an introduction on linear programming (LP) before switching to demand forecasting for two sessions. In session 5, students become familiar with the concepts of Aggregate Planning and Sales and Operations Planning, while the last two lectures discuss coordination in SCM. Various cases enable the students to gain deep context knowledge and prepare them for applying their new skills in the business environment.
