Abstract: This course focuses on supply chain planning and execution, with an emphasis on Advanced Planning and Scheduling, Supply Chain Event Management, and Product Lifecycle Management. The course is taught from a standard software perspective, examining modern commercial solutions of the supply chain management problem. Collaborative relationships along the supply chain are examined from the perspective of large and small organizations. This includes a wide range of perspectives, from Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), larger Original Equipment Manufacturers, and large public sector organizations. The focus of this class is all aspects of the integration and management problems. Solutions from SAP and Oracle will be used throughout the lectures.

                                    Research Paper                        40%

                                    Take Home Assignments          20%

 

There may be assignments throughout the semester, but they do not contribute to the calculation of the final grade. These assignments are to help you prepare for the examination.

 

Paper -            Unique to this class we will produce a joint paper at the end of the semester that is publishable. We will select a particular problem from a relevant area of interest and develop the paper.  The paper is part survey and part analysis, since we will synthesize, understand, and evaluate the relevant literature[1]. Most journal articles don't exceed 30 pages; so if possible, we will try to remain within this constraint. You will be graded based on your contribution to the paper. 

 

Use the style of the journal, Management Science. That is, the abstract, references, section headings, captions for figures and tables, etc. should conform to the style of the above journal. Papers that are not in this style will automatically be reduced by one letter grade.  Please be sure to use double-spacing and 12 point Times New Roman font for the word processing of the body of the manuscript.  Use single space and a 10-point font for the abstract.  Single-space individual references, but double space between references. Please submit an original copy, and retain a copy for yourself.

Accordingly materials submitted to all courses must be available in electronic format. Kingsley E. Haynes, Dean SPP/GMU

 

 


[1] Descriptive writing will not be accepted.  This is not an opinion paper!  The paper should follow the general rules for writing a scientific manuscript, and in general it should be outlined as follows:  introduction and problem statement, literature review, analysis, analytical results, conclusions, and references. This outline may vary slightly depending on the problem under study.
