Course Description This course introduces the basic concepts of supply chain management. Topics include transportation network design, inventory management subject to known or unknown demand, project scheduling (CPM/PERT) and job-shop scheduling. 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 Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) understand the basics of supply chain management and network design;
2) analyze inventory management scenarios under deterministic and stochastic demand structures;
3) represent projects as network flow diagrams, evaluate project completion times and examine critical factors affecting timely/successful project completion;
4) demonstrate an understanding of the key methods for machine scheduling.
Program Learning Outcomes/Course Learning Outcomes 1 2 3 4
1) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2) An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3) An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4) An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
