 Supply Chain Management MicroMasters Program Structure (10 Credits)
Supply Chain Analytics (SC0x) introduces and explains the analytical
methods generally used by logistics and supply chain practitioners. The
course will cover topics with a focus on: basic data management, Probability,
Statistics, Simulation, and Optimization. The focus is on the application of
these techniques and methodologies to problems in the supply chain space.
Supply Chain Fundamentals (SC1x) introduces and explains the
fundamental analytic tools, approaches, and techniques used in the design
and operation of logistics systems and integrated supply chains. The three
main topic areas we will focus on are: Demand Forecasting, Inventory
Management, and Transportation Planning.
Supply Chain Design (SC2x) introduces and explains the four main topic
areas: Physical flow design, Supply chain finance, Information flow design,
and Organization/Process design.
Typical Program Structure at MISI (38 Credits)
Forecasting & Inventory introduces supply chain management from both
analytical and practical perspectives. Stressing a unified approach, the course
allows the student to develop a framework for making intelligent decisions
within the supply chain.
Supply Chain Finance links supply chain management to the financial
systems and objectives of the corporation. It emphasizes how the supply
chain creates value for both the shareholders of the company and the
stakeholders affected by the company’s operations.
System Dynamics introduces system thinking and system dynamics
modeling applied to strategy, organizational change, and policy design.
Software Systems and Integration deals with the design, implementation
and management of engineering and business systems. At the end of the
course, as managers, students will learn how to understand technologies to
manage them effectively.
Case Studies provide a combination of lectures and cases covering the
strategic, tactical, and operational issues in contemporary logistics and
integrated supply chain management.
Transportation Systems introduces the dynamics of transportation. It
explores the complex task of decision making involving numerous
stakeholders.
