Subject matter

The course explores the main thoughts and practices in Logistics and Supply Chain Management and establishes and explores the link between Global Operations and Company Corporate and Competitive Strategies. The course has a very practical approach, especially through company case studies, developed in group or individually as a take home final exam.

The course has, also, no pre-requisites in terms of operations management background and all students from different areas are accepted. Although not an advanced course it is an independent course in terms of its nature and tries to develop an AS IS - TO BE approach based on a consultancy reasoning.
