Abstract

This course provides an overview of the supply chain planning processes and systems (Advanced Planning and Scheduling, APS) and in-depth examples of applying particular types of planning information systems at different levels of the supply chain planning hierarchy. The students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience for solving planning problems using APS, as well as to learn from case studies of APS implementation worldwide

Learning Objectives

• To understand the role of information technology and systems supporting the core supply chain planning processes.

Expected Learning Outcomes

• Can describe in own words the concetptual model for strategic supply chain planning
• Can describe in own words the demand forecasting process and its link to supply chain planning
• Can describe in own words the purpose of operational planning processes and tasks
• Can explain the conceptual model for tactical supply chain planning
• Can explain the structure of the supply chain planning matrix
• Can name and describe in own words core supply chain planning processes
• Can build and analyze a tactical supply chain planning model using selected software
• Can build and analyze demand forecasting models using selected software
• Can construct and analyze strategic network design models using selected software
• Can describe in own words the logic of material requirements planning

Course Contents

• The supply chain planning framework
• Information systems for strategic supply chain planning
• Information systems for tactical supply chain planning
• Information systems for demand forecasting and planning
• Information systems for operational planning and scheduling

Assessment Elements

• Presentation
  The goal of the presentation – to discuss the practical experience of using APS systems in the field of Logistics and SCM.
• Participation
  The grade is calculated as 10 * obtained points/number of seminars. If the result exceeds 10, it is truncated at 10.
• Homework
  The grade is calculated as the 10 * sum of points obtained for submitted homework divided by the total points for all assigned homework.
• Quizzes
  The grade is calculated as the average grade for each quiz. If a quiz is not submitted, the grade for it is 0. The quizzes are offered during the classes and must be completed in a short time frame.
• Project
  The goal of the final project is a practical application of the skills gained in the course
