GeM 8400 Supply Chain and Operations Transformation |
||||
|
Students develop the ability to conceptualize, design and implement supply chain capabilities as an integral part of a firm's digitally-induced transformation initiatives.
Business competition is now between supply networks rather than individual corporations. Managing the flow of products, information and revenue across value chain constellations differentiates the ability of firms and their partners to meet specific customer needs for products and services.
The course focuses on the mis-alignment of multi-channel supply chain integration models for the fulfillment of products with predictable or unpredictable demand. It evaluates how supply chain visibility can be used to optimally stage physical resources and accelerate financial flows. And the challenges associated with achieving and leveraging visibility. |
It assesses how advances in collaboration-planning-execution applications
and globalization eliminate traditional supply chain design constraints,
dislodge obsolete intermediaries, and create new forms of partnerships and
value-added intermediation. It evaluates the implications of these changes
for the transformation of core operational processes, such as order
management, replenishment, production, transportation, distribution and
after-sales service. And of supplier relationship strategies, including
design of incentive structures.
It examines third and fourth party logistic solutions, such as supplier hubs, and their economic implications for products with differing physical characteristics and obsolescence rates. |
