This course provides students with a hands-on understanding of the flow of information and products between and among supply chain stages. Students study major supply chain management strategies such as the procurement of raw materials, product development, operations, distribution, and finance all from a data-intensive perspective.

Upon completion of the course, students are expected to be able to do the following:

1. Integrate the functional areas of supply chain management with organization strategy.
2. Construct prescriptive models with linear programming techniques.
3. Assess and implement different forecasting techniques in order to implement effective forecast models.
4. Explain how data can be used as an asset in supply chain decision making.
