SCM 421 – Sc Analytics
Models and Methodologies for supply chain analysis. SCM 421 Supply Chain Analytics (3) This course provides a spreadsheet-based, example-driven approach to learn about important supply chain models, problems, and solution methodologies. The objectives of this course are: (1) to develop valuable modeling skills that students can appreciate and use effectively in their careers (2) reinforce and enrich your understanding of supply chain theories, principles, and concepts studied previously in foundation courses. Student evaluation is based on: (1) individual and team group performance on problem-based exercises (2) individual performance on examinations (3) class participation.
SCM 494H – Research Project (H)
Supervised student activities on research projects identified on an individual or small-group basis.
SCM 496 – Indep Studies
Creative projects, including research and design, that are supervised on an individual basis and that fall outside the scope of formal courses.
