Integrated supply chain constitutes a core firm competency, spanning most business functions required to deliver products and services to consumers at the right time, in the right amounts, at attractive prices, and with satisfactory quality characteristics. Advances in information technology facilitate continued improvement in supply chain infrastructure and operations efficiency. This course will introduce fundamental concepts in supply chain management along with basic quantitative tools to model, optimize, and analyze strategic, tactical, and operational decisions that arise in supply chains.
Open to students with majors in the Isenberg School of Management Pre Req: OIM 301 OIM majors and non-OIM Isenberg majors should monitor the course via Spire for seat availability. Students who add themselves to the Spire waitlist should ensure they do not enroll in a course that conflicts with this course or are enrolled in a max number of credits. Please note that for all OIM courses, the Department utilizes the Spire waitlist. The Registrar will stop promoting students on the Spire waitlist about one week prior to the beginning of classes. Once the Spire waitlist is no longer functional, you will need to monitor the class and self-enroll if a seat becomes available.
