Applied Learning Project
You will learn to analyze a company's supply chain and solve business problems in a realistic setting. In addition, you will solve three detailed real-life case studies showing your mastery of supply chain management. The skills you develop in this specialization will help you become an expert in the global end-to-end network of customers and suppliers.
Supply chain leaders manage products, information, and finances to create an efficient, effective supply chain. With this online certificate program, you’ll study at the graduate level to gain the knowledge you need to advance in your career.
You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the three distinct flows that create supply chain excellence in any company. Learn from lectures, readings, discussions and quizzes designed by faculty from the Department of Supply Chain Management at Rutgers University. You’ll also benefit from graded feedback from the instructor and live sessions with groups of high-caliber peers. This course will provide you with an introduction and head-start to the Supply Chain Excellence MasterTrack.
Supply Chains are made up of a network of companies from the initial raw materials to the ultimate consumer of the finished product. Within this network of companies, there are three ongoing flows: products, information, and finances. To properly understand and manage the supply chain, you need to understand all the flows. If you do not consider all of the flows, you will miss opportunities or sub-optimize parts of the supply chain.
The second of five courses in this specialization will focus on Sourcing Excellence. You will learn how the inbound flow of products, information, and finances into the company facilitates the supply chain. It will consist of four modules, which will cover the following topics: core sourcing elements; inbound information flow; supply chain financing; and finally the capstone case study. You will have lectures, readings, and discussions with your peers for each topic, as well as a practice quiz in each lesson. At the end of each module, you can put your knowledge to the test and take a graded quiz. The Capstone Analysis module contains a real-life case analysis, as well as a supply chain management project that will enable you to be an expert on a company of your choosing.
