Detailed Description
Students review the key concepts related to supply chain management,
including the importance of the cross-functional relationship
between marketing and supply chain to meet customer needs. Students
explore the connections among strategies for customer service,
inventory, suppliers, transportation and distribution centres as
they identify best practices. The role of technology and current
thinking in Supply Chain Management are central course features.
Through a combination of readings from the text book, a self-
organized plant tour and on-line activities, students observe the
connection between the core areas of a firm in a given supply
chain. Students complete a report and presentation based on the
tour of a firm¿s supply chain operation.
