The supply chain costs in the U.S. economy exceed a trillion dollars per year. To manage supply chains effectively, one needs to develop the right product, coordinate information and material flows throughout the entire network and deliver the product at the right time at the right location. Since different supply chain partners may face different types of challenges and may have different objectives, it is difficult to coordinate information and material flows and even more difficult to entice these partners to collaborate. The goal of this course is to develop a better understanding of the challenges in managing supply chains. This course will be relevant for students considering careers in management consulting, general management and supply chain management.
