This course views the supply chain (including the distribution channels) as a multi-organization business system that enables customers at all points in the system to acquire the benefits/value they want in the way they want to acquire them. It is a collaborative human network creating customer and shareholder value throughout the system. Strategic and tactical management topics include specifying customer desired value, assessing network members' (suppliers, producers, distributors, and customers) abilities to create it, and consequently allocating decisions, tasks, and rewards to members. Emphasis is on structure, communication, motivation, and control/discipline to encourage effective implementation throughout the supply chain system. Offered as MKMR 307, MKMR 407 and OPMT 407.

The Six Sigma process is the standard for quality improvement in organizations around the globe. In this course, we study the details of the five steps in the Six Sigma process: DEFINE, MEASURE, ANALYZE, IMPROVE, and CONTROL (DMAIC). We introduce the concept of sustainability into the criteria to use to evaluate proposed solutions during the Six Sigma process. Many tools, concepts, and processes that are often an integral part of Six Sigma projects in companies are included in the course content. They range from the very basic tools of quality (such as cause-and-effect diagrams for brainstorming) to complete processes (such as benchmarking, quality function deployment, failure mode and effects analysis-FMEA). Statistical concepts that are central to Six Sigma including statistical process control and introduction design of experiments are also included. Once the Six Sigma process and its various components are understood, we study quality management including quality control, quality planning, quality improvement, strategic quality management, and quality strategy. Students meeting the required standards of performance will earn a Green Belt Certification in Six Sigma and Quality Management from the Weatherhead School of Management.

This course takes a business approach to environmental and social issues to answer "what do I need to know about environmental and social issues to make my company more successful, and how can I act on that knowledge profitably?" We summarize important environmental and social issues facing business (and all of society), such as global climate change, pollution, economic development, hunger, and social unrest. Drawing on most areas of the MBA program, we examine environmental and social issues associated with product design and component commonality, recycling materials, product packaging, process design and remanufacturing, facility location and design (including green building), reverse logistics and closed-loop supply chains, and global supply chains.

Project management is concerned with the management and control of a group of interrelated tasks required to be completed in an efficient and timely manner for the successful accomplishment of the objectives of the project. Since each project is usually unique in terms of task structure, risk characteristics and objectives, the management of projects is significantly different from the management of repetitive processes designed to produce a series of similar products or outputs. Large-scale projects are characterized by a significant commitment of organizational and economic resources coupled with a high degree of uncertainty. The objective of this course is to enhance the ability of participants to respond to the challenges of large-scale projects so that they can be more effective as project managers. We study in detail up-to-date concepts, models, and techniques useful for the evaluation, analysis, management, and control of projects. Prereq: QUMM 414 or MBAC 511 or MBAP 403 or OPRE 433.

Enterprise resource planning is the dominant system by which companies translate the needs from their customers into the detailed plans that the company must perform to meet the customer needs, and the resulting support the company will need from its suppliers. As such, it is a central player in the process of supply chain management. In this course, we study both the quantitative and qualitative concepts and techniques to help manage a company's operations to perform these important translation and planning tasks in order to help the company be successful. The quantitative analysis will be supported by microcomputer software available in the Weatherhead computer lab. Student teams complete a series of integrated case studies from the same company to vividly see the relationships between various planning and control activities. A major emphasis during the course is the design of processes and procedures (algorithms) for solving very complex (wicked) problems as a part of both class discussions and while working on case studies, as well as critiquing the designs so as to clearly understand their limitations.
