Description:

Staff. This is a project-based course run in a seminar format to explore current trends and opportunities for integration and coordination in IT-enabled value-chain networks. The curriculum is structured around a live case; students will work in teams to synthesize data from the live case and evaluate possible operational strategies and IT enablers in the context of a real, on-going business restructuring decision. Students will review a set of operations strategies affecting production, fulfillment, procurement product design, and support that may prove relevant e.g. Postponement, Mass Customization, Customer Service Differentiation, Buyer/Supplier Coordination. We also consider functionality that underlies relevant information technologies like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Customer Relationship Management (CRM), e.g. data integration, information quality, and security. Finally, we invite different vendors into the class to provide students with the opportunity to compare and contrast state-of-the-art IT and Operations Management solutions.
