This course considers the various aspects of the supply chain management (SCM), which lets an organization get the right goods and services to the place they are needed at the right time, in the proper quantity and at an acceptable cost. Efficiently managing this process involves overseeing relationships with suppliers and customers, controlling inventory, forecasting demand and getting constant feedback on what is happening at every link in the chain.  

To reach these objectives, this course will be composed of the following parts:

  1. an introduction to the integrated production management (IPM) and an analysis of each module of the IPM
  2. supply chain management: strategic level
  3. supply chain management: operational level
