Fundamentals of Supply Chain Management

This course will provide a broad overview of the discipline of supply chain management, providing to students an understanding of "people, processes, and technologies" related to the field. Supply Chain Management is the discipline that brings together B2B and B2C markets, and the University of Denver's model defines this as an end to end system within six pillars that has a goal of a "cradle to cradle" system. Participants will learn of the key operating, financial, and technical measures and tools of supply chain management, which is necessary to be a successful professional in the field. Specific current and future trends will be covered, including the implications across local, national and global systems. The focus will be on learning and applying how supply chain will continue to transform in the future, but from an understanding of the end to end system and its principles as the foundation.
