Supply chains have a long history of leveraging technology to drive efficiency and effectiveness, operating at a global scale that requires seamless integration across multiple systems and platforms. This course prepares you to translate fundamental supply chain principles into practice within a rapidly evolving digital landscape by focusing on core technological concepts, system architectures, and data-driven decision-making rather than specific software tools.
Through hands-on exercises, case studies, and real-world applications, you'll develop competencies in analyzing large supply chain datasets, evaluating and selecting enterprise supply chain software systems, managing technology implementation and upgrades, and assessing emerging technology expected to transform supply chain operations. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to generate insights from big data, evaluate technology solutions, and make informed decisions that enhance supply chain performance.
