This course teaches students how to align key supply chain decisions and process flows with the organization’s mission and goals and to increase resiliency. It also equips students with the skills to manage the planning and change management for continuous improvement projects. Students are first introduced to the many inflection points in supply chains and the tradeoffs and how these play into meeting an organization’s goals and mission. Then in the first half of the course, students learn fundamental concepts for constructing supply chain process flows. In the second half of the class, students acquire core skills and techniques needed to successfully manage time-bound projects meant to further optimize those ongoing processes. Students will gain a solid grounding in supply chain mapping, sourcing strategies, TCO, project charters, work breakdown structures (WBS), and project management plans.
