This means that coverage of concepts and tools will draw largely from the discipline of operations management. This course also introduces some mathematical modeling for solving supply chain management problems. The goal of this course is to provide a basis for sound management intuition in the context of operations and supply chain management and to provide a framework for evaluating and enhancing practices. This goal is pursued through three themes. First, we will survey the terminology, problems, concepts, and tools associated with managing supply chains. Second, we will identify and illustrate the power of a small number of principles of nature that often underlie creative approaches for managing and improving supply chains, as well as other areas of business. Third, our consideration of tools will emphasize simple analytical methods that strengthen intuition into the behavior of complex systems. 3. Course Objectives and Requirements By the end of the semester, the student should have an understanding of key supply chain function for both service and manufacturing organizations, be able to integrate the supply chain function within the general business structure of the organization, improve your Excel skills, particularly in the context of setting up and analyzing supply chain issues, understand and be able to apply principles of nature and methods of analysis to identify and evaluate opportunities to improve supply chain performance develop critical thinking skills and experience business decision-making from a long-term, senior manager’s perspective understand components of competitive intelligence and practice competitor analysis 2 4.

Assignment Requirements Readings and Exercises Requirements I have assigned readings and exercises over the duration of the semester. Here is a suggestion on how to get the most out of the readings (adapted from a section in Microsoft Encarta): Read with a purpose. Many psychologists think that the best way to remember what you read is to follow the PQ4R method. PQ4R stands for Preview, Question, and four R's: Read, Reflect, Recite, Review. If you are reading a chapter in our text, for example, you should start by skimming the whole chapter for an overview. Then create some questions to concentrate on while you study. (For example, the Chapter Keys that appear at the beginning of each chapter address are designed to help you with this step.) Then read the chapter. After you've finished, reflect—think about how the chapter has answered your questions. Recite the answers back to yourself, explaining the information in your own words. (The first question at the end of each chapter addresses this step.) Finally, go back through the chapter, skimming again for the main points. The exercises are designed to not only give you practice in applying various tools, but also to bring out and reinforce basic underlying concepts. Some exercises are unstructured (as is typical in the real world) and can have more than one reasonable answer. I encourage you to be creative and experiment with an alternative approach or two. I will provide solutions to the assigned exercises. 6 University and School Policies Academic Integrity Policy: The School has adopted an Academic Integrity Policy emphasizing that honesty, integrity, and respect for others are fundamental expectations in our School.
