It concentrates on the basic concepts, terminology, techniques and tools in supply chain management. Introduces the main functions of supply chain management and its interface with marketing, finance, and information management. Studies the interactions among the logistics of manufacturing, inventory, and transportation. Students are introduced to mathematical modeling and computer simulations to optimize the performance of supply chains.

Management Decision Models (BADM 374) Introduction to methods of operations research from an executive or managerial viewpoint, emphasizing formulation of business problems in quantitative terms; industrial applications of linear programming, dynamic programming, game theory, probability theory, queuing theory, and inventory theory.

Logistics Management (BADM 378) Treats the total flow of materials from their acquisition as basic or unprocessed supplies to delivery of the finished product, as well as the related counter-flows of information that both record and control material movement. Major topics include forecasting material requirements; transportation planning; order processing system; raw material, in-process and finished goods inventory management; packaging; in plant and field warehousing; location theory (space, time, and cost trade- offs); communications; and control.

Process Management (BADM 567) Operations Management (OM) is the design and execution of systems for the development, production, and distribution of goods and services. OM includes decisions for choosing production technologies, designing processes, creating demand forecasts, managing inventories, selecting suppliers, and ensuring quality. This course focuses on conceptual foundations and fundamental analytical approaches for OM.
