- Course Catalog Description:
- Course prepares students to develop capabilities for (i) making well-informed technology choice decisions; (ii) effectively managing the development and implementation of technologies; and (iii) collaboratively engaging in crisis management and problem solving during technology development and implementation. The central question around which the course is organized is: How can existing and emerging technologies (e.g., IoT, automation, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, block chains) and the related process and people issues be managed to design and sustain reliable, responsive, resilient, and responsible supply chains? Analytic methods covered in the course to inform decisions related to the development and implementation of technologies include statistical methods (e.g., multivariate regression, time-series analysis, hazard models), risk analysis methods (e.g., decision trees) and predictive analytic methods (e.g., random forest). Through a combination of operations analysis case studies and hands-on exercises, students learn to evaluate the potential upside and downside risks of existing and emerging technologies. The final course project involves designing and testing of prototype systems for evaluating the development and implementation in supply chain and operations settings of companies.
- Class Description:
- This course prepares students to make well-informed technology choice decisions and effectively manage the development and implementation of technologies. The central question around which the course is organized is: How should technology and the related process and people issues be managed to enhance the competitiveness of individual (manufacturing and/or service) firms and their supply chain trading partners (i.e., suppliers and customers)? The course adopts an end-to-end view of specific supply chains of firms and industry sectors to address specific topics such as: how to identify the appropriate application context of technologies in the supply chain; and how to realize the strategic potential of technologies that enable supply chain integration.
