SCM 570 - Supply Chain Purchasing Management
Credits: 4
In this course, students will learn how purchasing and supply management have become increasingly visible in a world where supply is a major determinant of corporate survival and success. Supply chain performance and influences will be examined as they are not only operational and financial risks but also reputational risk. Extending the supply chain globally into emerging regions places new responsibilities on the supplier and supply, not only to monitor environmental, social, political, and security concerns, but also to influence them. Thus, students will develop a more in-depth understanding of the job of the supply manager of today as they go beyond the scope of supply chain efficiency and value for money spent to search for competitive advantage in the supply chain.
