BU 457 - Global Supply Chain Management (3)

The efficient delivery of goods and services from global suppliers is critical to every company and nation. Supply chain management (SCM) is the structured approach for meeting this requirement. Supply chains are systems and processes that transform resources into products and services ranging from automobiles, mobile phones, healthcare, and aerospace to education and software development. Procurement, inventory, transformation, distribution, and transportation all must be managed individually and in concert with each other to achieve corporate goals and objectives. This course provides students with the theory and practice to design, operate, and sustain global supply chains. Application of systems thinking methods and tools will provide students with market-ready skills.
