1 Supply Chain Management MTT240 Syllabus Spring 2012 Course Goals Supply chain management can be defined as the systemic and strategic coordination of the business processes and functions within and between organisations across the supply chain for the purposes of improving the long term performance of the individual company as well as the supply chain as a whole. Consequently the course provides advanced knowledge about logistics systems and their supporting information systems from a supply chain perspective. Principles and methods used to produce an effective and efficient flow of material and information, from the supplier of raw material, through companies to the ultimate consumers, are introduced. In addition, the course provides the student with skills in handling methods and tools for the analysis, design and development of supply chains. The course will also strengthen the students holistic view on supply chain operations, management and strategy, and discuss some current research areas in supply chain management. Content and Assessment To qualify for a final grade, the student must have passed a written quiz/examination, passed all assigned case studies and completed the compulsory assignments satisfactorily. For more on goals and assessments, please refer to appendix 1. The exam is worth 50% of the final grade. The cases are worth 50% of the final grade. The course is for 7.5 higher education credits which correspond to about 200 hours of work according to the following distribution: Lectures: 38h, Cases (in class):20h, Cases (outside of class): 42h Games: 6h Individual studies: 94h Total: 200 h Literature The course literature consists of articles and cases. Additional material such as power point presentations will be posted on the course website. material covered in class and posted on the website is part of the course and could be included in the examination.

3 Appendix 1: Goals and Assessments Knowledge and understanding For a passing grade the student must: be able to use theories, models and tools both to analyse and evaluate how logistics processes can be co-ordinated within and between companies along supply chains, and to independently plan and perform the design and changes of supply chains. be able to understand how the research processes within this field are carried out, and have had an overview of some on-going research projects. This means e.g. to: independently describe and problematize different logistics processes and their connections, especially between the companies in the supply chains understand and comprehensively analyse how the materials flow interacts with the information flow and the finance flow along supply chains describe and compare different types of co-operation and integration along supply chains and how they are organised explain and compare different classic theories within supply chain management describe and independently analyse in detail two different logistics processes and how these have been integrated along the supply chains in the two project assignments (the Accenture case and the students' own projects) understand different aspects of the globalizing of value-added chains, including the challenges concerning the environment, ethics and different regional, legal and fiscal systems comprehend the difference in supply chain management between different industry sectors analyse how different types of information and communication techniques can be used for supply chain management understand and comprehensively identify and handle different types of risks along supply chains define measures of costs and performances and problematize measuring and analysing them understand how the logistics processes influence the competitiveness, economics and growth within companies, industrial sectors, regions and nations understand how logistics innovations are conceived and how they are disseminated have knowledge of the most important milestones and their innovations in the history of logistics have knowledge of future studies within the field and their methods have knowledge of at least two on-going research projects. Skills and abilities For a passing grade the student must: independently be able to analyse and develop supply chain management processes by applying theoretical methods and practical tools

4 write a request for quotations and purchase consultant services and information systems in order to connect the logistics processes that are divided up into several different organisations along the supply chain start one's project work within the field of logistics and then master the challenges demanded by a position within this field The student is also expected to be able to use technical terms, and clearly communicate logistics problems, analyses and solutions, e.g. the concepts activity, functions, process, organisation, customer adoption, outsourcing and globalization independently use reference literature, scientific publications, applied trade journals in logistics, consultant reports, and the Internet to analyse, evaluate and synthesise practical logistics problems orally and in writing explain and discuss both one s own and other s analyses Judgement and approach For a passing grade the student must: use a scientific approach by seeking, critically judging and applying academic as well as professional knowledge. be able to apply creative thinking in order to take in, develop and spread innovations within the field of logistics. Hopefully, the student will acquire a lifelong interest in contributing to developing the academic as well as the applied profession of logistics.
