Course Description This course provides an introduction to the basic concepts of supply chain management. Topics include aggregate planning, materials requirements planning, just-in-time production fundamentals, distribution resource planning, and job shop scheduling with several sequencing rules. The subjects covered throughout the course provide students with the required knowledge to develop strategies employed in the design and management of supply chains. The course considers both the systems observed in real-life applications and the basic analytical methods to provide insights for effective management.
Course Description in Turkish Bu ders tedarik zinciri yönetiminin temel kavramlarına bir giriş sağlar. Konular içerisinde bütünleşik planlama, malzeme ihtiyaç planlaması, tam zamanında üretim temelleri, dağıtım kaynak planlama ve birçok sıralama kuralına göre iş atölyesi çizelgeleme yer almaktadır. Ders boyunca işlenecek bu konular öğrencilere tedarik zincirlerinin tasarımı ve yönetiminde kullanılan stratejileri geliştirmek için gerekli bilgiyi sağlayacaktır. Bu ders etkin yönetim anlayışını sağlamak için hem gerçek hayattaki uygulamalarda gözlemlenen sistemleri hem de temel analitik yöntemleri göz önünde bulundurur.
