Supply chain management involves a number of decisions that benefit by quantitative techniques of analysis and design. The course will take up a few of these to explore modeling, computation and IT-enabled implem-entation of solutions in some areas of Supply Chain Management. The application areas include material flow management across the supply chain, value management and analysis of total supply chain costs, robust design of supply chains, co-ordination of supply chain decisions and handling of uncertainties in supply chain management. The emphasis will be on modeling, analysis and implementation issues, including a few case studies, but the relevant techniques will be covered as required.
