Supply Chain Management
IT tools and applications of Supply Chain Management (SCM) are the focus
of this subject.
Designed from the perspective of the general manager (who must integrate supplier relations, production and factory floor, operations, financial and human dimensions of the enterprise), this subject examines the processes within the value chain of the company.
Students learn how the competitiveness, cost structure and manageability of a firm's operations and markets can be improved through automation, using information and telecommunications networking technologies.
Topics include fundamentals of matching supply with demand, incentive
alignment and implementation challenges and analytical techniques for
supply-chain management. The implementation of Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) systems is also discussed.
