Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students will have worked to select, apply and evaluate common quantitative supply chain planning techniques including demand forecasting, order determination, production planning and distribution planning.

•Students will have experienced and solved issues of supply chain planning on the interfaces between different functions.

•Students will have tested different approaches to solving goal conflicts between functions in an organisation.

 •Students will have experienced and improved problems related to functional organisation within teams and effective management control mechanisms.

Teaching methodology

The course follows a dual approach:  On one hand, students study theoretical concepts, tools and techniques of supply chain planning based on lectures and exercises. On the other hand, students have the opportunity to apply all concepts in case studies and practical exercises.

We will make use of the e-learning platform Moodle, a simulated supply chain game online, and standard office applications (i.e. Excel).

Course content

Supply Chain Planning (SCP) enables an efficient coordination of different planning activities within supply chains ranging from long-term supply chain design to the short-term scheduling of tasks. It has emerged as a key cross-functional planning activity in many organisations. Once an effective SCP process has been established, decisions made by senior managers must be put into action effectively. This course is aimed at providing an opportunity to explore the process of operationalizing decisions made during an SCP process from master planning down to production planning, sequencing and scheduling. During the course, students will have the opportunity to explore the planning tasks and challenges for the following areas:

  • Demand planning and forecasting
  • Hierarchical planning
  • Scheduling
  • Order fulfilment and ATP
