PDr. ZHAO has the publication in the well-known international journal, e.g., Information, Interfaces, Chinese journal of management science Course Description This course introduces you to some key fields of supply chain management from an operations perspective. This means that coverage of concepts and tools will draw largely from the discipline of operations management. This course also introduces you to some mathematical modeling for solving supply chain management problems. 3. Course Objectives and Requirements The goal of this course is to provide a basis for sound management intuition in the context of operations and supply chain management and to provide a framework for evaluating and enhancing practices. This goal is pursued through three themes. First, we will survey the terminology, problems, concepts, and tools associated with managing supply chains. Second, we will identify and illustrate the power of a small number of principles of nature that often underlie creative approaches for managing and improving supply chains, as well as other areas of business. Third, our consideration of tools will emphasize simple analytical methods that strengthen intuition into the behavior of complex systems. By the end of the semester, you should have an understanding of key supply chain function for both service and manufacturing organizations, be able to integrate the supply chain function within the general business structure of the organization, improve your Excel skills, particularly in the context of setting up and analyzing supply chain issues, understand and be able to apply principles of nature and methods of analysis to identify and evaluate opportunities to improve supply chain performance develop critical thinking skills and experience business decision-making from a long-term, senior manager s perspective. 2 / 5
