BA 424 - Supply Chain Information Technology
Credits: 3
Recent developments and breakthroughs in Internet and Information Technology have radically changed the business world. Competition has become just a few clicks away with 24-7 accessibility enabled by Internet technology. In many industries, it has become virtually impossible to have a sustainable business without proper management of the Internet and information processes and service outcomes associated with product design, sourcing, production, order fulfillment, logistics, and delivery. In this context, the relationships with suppliers and customers, coupled with supply chain management-the planning, operation, and control of material, information, and financial flows across individual firms in the extended enterprise- have become crucial for a company’s’ success. In this course, students will learn to strategically think about integrated supply-chain, procurement, and service management strategies for organizations that rely, at least partially, on Internet and information technology to transact with suppliers and end consumers. To accomplish this objective, fundamentals from business areas of supply chain management and information management will serve to establish the course’s theoretical underpinnings. Along with this foundation, applied concepts, and practical insights, students will develop the knowledge and necessary skills to plan, organize, operate, and control a variety of processes, resources, services, and relationships in supply chains via the Internet and information technology. Lectures, case-study reports, discussions, and analytical investigations constitute the methods through which course content will be delivered. The course will discuss the use of computerized selection systems in warehouses, and drone technology.
