Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The purpose of this course is to teach the objectives of the supply chain. It is important to understand how logistical planning and modeling decisions impact the performance of the firm as well as the entire supply chain. The course will be about to understand the link between supply chain structures and logistical capabilities in a firm or the entire supply chain. The function of logistics planning and modeling is to design and manage the processes, assets, and flows of material and information required to satisfy customers’ demands. Through chapters, problem discussions and case analyses, we will discuss firstly logistics planning issues and then issues related to logistics systems, international logistics networks, warehousing problems, transporting issues. During the lectures, students will be discussing the reasons of the problematic parts of the systems and will be obligated to present their solutions. The content of course has been formed as fundamentals of logistics, functions, processes and objectives of the logistics operation, logistics terminology, design of channels for distribution, information flows, facility locations, outsourcing, risks and possible disruptions in logistics, KPIs in logistics, laws and regulations related with logistics, systems approach to the management of logistics activities.
Course Content: Logistics terminology, logistics terminology, design of distribution channels, information flow, location of facilities, outsourcing, risks and possible disruptions in logistics, KPI in logistics, rules and regulations related to logistics, system approach in logistics activities, industry 4.0 applications
