Introduction
This course focuses on planning and control of inventories and manufacturing capacities, demand management, order fulfillment, and other supply chain issues. The objective of the course is to develop planning and analytical skills useful for demand management, order fulfillment, master production scheduling, and planning and control of capacity and component/sub-assembly requirements. The course relies on latest supply chain systems and MRP-based methodologies, as well as mathematical models, to illustrate the techniques.
Besides lecture, the course relies on case studies and teamwork to facilitate learning.
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Supply Chain Engineering
- FlexiMasters in Supply Chain Engineering
