A Systems-Based Approach to the Operation of Livestock-Based Food Production Systems II credit:

3 Hours

In this course you will continue to learn how structured, systems-based thinking – Thinking Process techniques - can be applied to the management of the supply chain for livestock-based food systems. The theories that Goldratt has developed and how they might be applied to supply chain management are explored in this course. You will, by the end of the course, be able to apply the TOC to a livestock-based supply chain to improve economic performance of the entire supply chain. Prerequisite: VCM 568 . Restricted to graduate students.
