Supply Networks & Risk Management

MGMT 360
Description: Most organizations exist for the purpose of creating some form of output - be it a product or service. A critical activity that supports this purpose is the act of securing the resources required by an organization in order to generate its output. These resources can also be physical products or services. The network of suppliers that provide these resources define a supply chain - which will form the central theme of the course content. Beyond the basic terminology associated with sourcing resources across a supply chain, students will be introduced to more recent challenges in sourcing within a global context. Traditional topics such as lean and quality will be complemented with emerging themes such as environmental and social considerations, as well as managing risk in the supply chain. References to company experiences will be integrated throughout the course in order to reinforce concepts and application in the real-world. Students will exit with a broad understanding of sourcing across a complex supply chain, and the impact it may have both within and external to an organization.
