Master Control in Supply Chain Management and Logistics

Chalmers University of Technology via edX

Overview

Logistics and supply chain structures can be found in virtually any system. A supply chain is a complex environment with a multitude of forces and variables with various degrees of dependence. Unforeseen events are frequent and in order to achieve a competitive supply chain, constant supervision is needed.

In this business and management course, you will learn methods that are used to master control of supply chains, including how to forecast demand, how to determine the best order quantity for procurement, how to plan capacity and production and much more."

Many of the topics in the course will be illustrated using real companies and real logistics professionals as logistics is not a theoretical subject – it exists all around us – everywhere.

This MOOC is based on a widely popular university course that will give you a working knowledge on supply chain operations that can be applied in your organisation. By the end of this course, you will be able to better control and master your organisation’s system.

Regardless of your industry or organisation type, the concepts and methods from this course will help you become a logistics and supply chain professional. You will never look at a hotel breakfast buffet, a loading bay, a warehouse, a factory, an emergency room or even at a fast food restaurant the same way again…

    All the teachers are constantly reading from a document that makes their voices be very monotone and difficult to follow.
    The explanations are not very clear, so I had to look for some things in youtube.

    Overall it is not a bad course, but if you can find another one, do that one.

    Well balanced course with increasing levels of difficulty. Learnt about the overall process of demand management, planning and design of supply chain as well as digitisation.
