The main purpose of the course will be to learn about supply chain decisions. The students will be exposed to current topics in effectively managing supply chains, including supply chain design, strategies, integration, visualization, analytics, risk, and mitigation. The supply chain is constantly making changes and exposed to endogenous and exogenous risks, which cause interruptions to the flow of products and a significant impact on the performance of the business. Risks spread rapidly through the chain due to the interdependence of its various nodes. Thus understanding the supply chain risks can enable organizations to take effective action to identify, assess, and mitigate risks within their end-to-end supply chain.
