Operations and supply chain management is the science and art of designing and implementing the processes that create and deliver the goods or services provided by an organisation.The topics of this class encompass a wide variety of subjects relevant to the decisions concerning the design, mapping, and analysis of both internal production processes as well as processes that take place outside the organisation, such as the customer journey. In this class, you will be exposed to concepts and techniques useful for the management of procurement, sourcing and inventory, as well as capacity planning, demand management and quality management.
