Supply Chain

Digital representation supply chains showing curved lines and many zeroes and ones.

Supply chain management is the design, planning, execution, control, and monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronizing supply with demand, and measuring performance globally. Faculty address issues in a broad range of supply chain system contexts – ranging from homeland security issues through automotive environments – to online “look-ahead” inventory policies, service-differentiated stocking policies, and stocking policies for parts with highly correlated demands.
