The Supply Chain & Logistics course introduces students to the principles of operations management and the strategies that drive efficient, resilient, and competitive value chains. Using Operations and Supply Chain Management, 3rd Edition by David A. Collier and James Evans, the course explores how organizations design, manage, and improve the flow of goods, services, and information across global and local networks.

Students will study core topics including forecasting, capacity management, inventory control, logistics, quality assurance, and lean operations. The course also emphasizes the role of technology, analytics, and project management in enhancing supply chain performance, while addressing challenges such as resilience, sustainability, and global disruptions. Practical tools such as statistical process control, break-even analysis, and simulation are applied to real-world scenarios to strengthen decision-making skills.

Designed for students in business, economics, and management, this course blends theory with applied models and case studies to build practical expertise. By the end of the course, learners will be able to analyze supply chain structures, evaluate operational strategies, and implement improvements that enhance efficiency and support organizational goals. This knowledge prepares students for careers in logistics, operations management, and consulting.
