GRBU 517 - Value Chain & Sup Chain Mgmt
This course provides insight into the role of Value Chain Management (VCM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) in linking the enterprise functions and business entities. The emphasis is on the importance of understanding the business not as a collection of separate functions but as an integrated set of disciplines that work collaboratively to create business processes that deliver value to a firm’s customers. The evolution of the value chain concept and the impact of technology on value chain management will be demonstrated, as well as the impact of effective value chain management on a firm’s competitiveness and profitability. The course will also analyze the SCM processes and methods that facilitate the efficient and effective exchange of goods, services, information, and cash to complete the business transaction from supplier’s supplier to customer’s customer. Attention is given to such managerial concepts as forecasting, demand planning, operations planning, supply management, production, operations management, transportation, inventory management, and distribution. Interdisciplinary managerial concepts are presented to show how a focus on the quality of service and product and the integration of the supply chain processes offers great potential for improving corporate profitability and creating a sustainable competitive advantage.
