Description:
The seminar is based on a comprehensive case study of Nova,
Inc., a fictional manufacturing company that has implemented
a variety of new technologies, business processes and organizational
changes to maintain competitiveness over the years, yet continues
to lose market share. The case study uses actual operating
data to illustrate business scenarios, and the economic value
of collaborative supply chain management techniques.
Students compete to
optimize Nova's business using a simulation-based “experiential
learning” approach, including hands-on experience with
advanced decision support tools, supplemented by the coaching
and insights of Drs. Muckstadt, Murray and Rappold.
Audience: Executives, business managers and practitioners
responsible for Supply Chain design, planning, and operations;
and the Manufacturing, Logistics, Inventory Planning and Customer
Service business processes.
Objectives:To
expand understanding of the business impact and benefits of
collaborative supply chain management systems, tools and techniques.

Goals:

systems. (3) Design a Decision Support System for the planning
and control of production, inventories and distribution to
maximize customer responsiveness and financial return. (4)
Experience the use of data and models to structure and operate
a supply chain.
