In this course the different aspects of a supply chain are introduced. Every lecture focuses on another part of the supply chain. The covered topics are: supply chain strategy, demand forecasting, inventory management, sales and operations planning, sourcing and procurement, network design, manufacturing and process improvement, warehousing, sustainable transport and urban distribution. The lectures consist of a theoretical introduction to one of these concepts, followed by a guest speaker illustrating how this concept is applied in practice. Furthermore, exercise sessions (some in a game format) and interactive workshops will be organised.
The exercises (workshops) might be given on a Saturday morning
