- Class Description:
The central tenet of this course is that a company's ability to deliver products at low cost, high quality, at high speed, and with the flexibility to handle variety, is a result of key configuration decisions within the supply chain. The course is designed to familiarize students with the operational implications of strategic decisions, such as global facility location, outsourcing, supplier selection and relationship management, process automation and standardization, concurrent product development, etc.
To better understand the influence of globalization on supply chain configurations, the course is centered on a global project on supply-chain design. Our students form teams with students at a business school in Asia or Europe, and jointly explore different supply chain configurations for a particular product or service. Relevant products or services for these projects either stem from the companies these students work for, or are exogenously obtained from partnering companies. Students will learn current best practices for managing virtual teams and work to apply these practices during their project. Class time will be provided for students to virtually meet with their global team members.
