[Course Name] SCM 556 [Overview] Focuses on understanding the connections between manufacturing, inventory, and location decisions on customer-focused, multi-stage supply chains. We will explore how strategic choices (such as information technology, facility location, and mass customization) tie in with planning decisions (such as forecasting and aggregate planning) to support synchronized supply chains. This is one of three foundation courses. Delivery is coordinated with BA 510. Evaluation methods include a combination of class participation, exams, “hands-on” exercises, case studies, and reactions papers. [Course Title]
