With rapid globalization, the production and delivery of services and goods increasingly involves multiple firms, and multiple units within a firm, spread across multiple continents. In Global Supply Chain Management (Global-SCM), we study how to improve performance of the individual firm as well as the supply chain network. Three important dimensions of any supply chain are (i) material flows (inventories), (ii) information flows, and (iii) the nature of the contractual arrangements among the various entities in the supply chain (incentives). How to align the Inventories-Information-Incentives (I3) of a supply chain operating in a global context is an important theme of this course. We will study the varied issues relating to Global-SCM through lectures, a variety of cases and games. Global-SCM is an essential course for any would-be consultant or entrepreneur, and for anyone aspiring to a senior management position. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in ((BCOR 3050 OR OSC 3660 OR OSC 3661) AND Intermediate or Full Major status in the School of Business) OR ((OSC 3660 OR OSC 3661) AND Full Major status in QAMO)

This course focuses on understanding the fundamental issues and decisions in planning and controlling production systems. While the emphasis is on manufacturing production, many of the general concepts can also be applied to the production of services. We will look in greater depth than in previous courses at topics such as demand forecasting, capacity planning, production planning, and inventory management. Specific production planning and control techniques covered include Lean operations, just in time (JIT), theory of constraints (TOC), CONWIP, and material requirements planning (MRP). We will also consider the role of information systems in integrating these concepts together to create an integrated production system, considering more recent advances. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in (BCOR 3050 AND Intermediate or Full Major or Minor status in the School of Business) OR (Full Major status in QAMO) Corequisites: 'C-' or better in OSC 3660 OR OSC 3661 OR OSC 5100 OR OSC 5101
