MGMT 56600 - Global Supply Chain Management


Credit Hours: 2.00.  This course will integrate issues from marketing (channels of distribution), logistics, and operations management to develop a broad understanding of a supply chain in a global context. Students will learn how different factors, including exchange rate risk, custom duty and trading policies, geographic distribution of resources and demand, availability and reliability of local supplier, and characteristics of consumer, affect the design and execution of global supply chain strategies. Prerequisites: Students are expected to have taken a basic course on operations (such as the masters core class MGMT 66000: Introduction to Operations Management) and a basic course on supply chain management (such as the masters elective MGMT 66400: Supply Chain Management). Exposure to a course on optimization is also preferred, but not required. The course requires logical and analytical thinking. Credits: 2.00
