Abstract

Lecture series cover key topics of supply chain planning, such as sustainable global supply chains, intermodal transport networks, inter-organizational systems in logistics, etc. The aim of the course is to develop students’ analytical and decision making skills related to supply chain planning. The course is based on interactive teaching style with intensive student participation. The course combines group-work components, class discussions, student’s group work presentations, case-studies.

Learning Objectives

• The student is able to discuss the rationales behind the design of global supply networks and cross-border aspects
• The student is able to reflect on design, planning, and execution of intermodal and Synchromodal network services
• The student is able to analyze intermodal and Synchromodal networks by using modeling approaches
• The student is able to discuss governance of sustainable supply chains
• The student is able to discuss the role of and analyze the benefits of interorganizational systems in global logistics and trade

Expected Learning Outcomes

• Understand the challenges of uncertain economic environment in order to discuss ongoing research while using various concepts from the materials offered in the course
• Demonstrate deep knowledge and critical understanding of theories, principles, concepts and methodologies of global supply chain design.
• Use strong analytical skills and apply them to reflect on global supply chain design decisions while using a quantitative tool
• Examine and critically appraise quantitative tools relevant in order to explore the global supply chain scenarios
• Examine and reflect on design, planning, and execution of intermodal and synchromodal network services
• Plan and perform independent research projects in the area of logistics applying the advanced concepts of integrated supply chain planning.

Course Contents

• Introduction Global Supply Network Design. The basic notions of the design of global supply chain networks.
• Global Supply Network Design and Compliance. The design of global supply chain networks: globalization, international trade, and the role therein of customs.
