The competitiveness of companies is significantly influenced by supply chain management and the design of value chains across several companies. In this course, not only the students of Supply Chain Management deepen their understanding of the importance, opportunities and risks that arise for a production company from global value chains.
The students acquire in-depth knowledge of the Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCORE Model) as a reference model for Supply Chain Management (SCM). Advanced contents and design options of the elements "source, make, deliver and return" are classified and known.
Students understand which philosophies, principles and tools are used in modern supply chains. The aspects, methods and tools for the planning and design of a global SC are developed. The structure and process of a supply chain controlling with essential KPIs is presented in in-depth examples and tasks. Risks and success factors in SCM can be explained by the students in their own words. The basic structure and fields of application of simulation models in a dynamic environment are known and can be discussed.
Cases from different sectors or from the student's own company can be analysed and possible improvements can be presented.
