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 operational planning and scheduling
• Information systems for demand forecasting and planning

Assessment Elements

• Homework
  The grade is calculated as the 10 * sum of points obtained for submitted homework divided by the total points for all assigned homework.
• Quiz
  The grade is calculated automatically as the sum of points for each assignment in the quiz. If a quiz is not submitted, the grade for it is 0. The quiz is offered during the last seminar.
• Presentation
  The goal of the presentation – to discuss the practical experience of using APS systems in the field of Logistics and SCM.
• Project
  The goal of the final project is a practical application of the skills gained in the course
• Participation
  The participation points are awarded for taking part in class discussions and for solving problems. The grade is calculated as the sum of obtained points. If the result exceeds 10, it is truncated at 10.
