Course Description
Supply chain management means the design, planning and control of the information flow, material flow and cash flow with a view to strengthening competitiveness. The supply chain composition structure and the operation directly relate to the whole management process of the enterprise; therefore, the course focuses on the operation and supply chain management on the premise of fast meeting the end-user need, make the response promptly to the unpredictable market demand, and realize optimized movement for the entire supply chain.
Learning objectives
This is a course in management with an emphasis on real world applications. There are three basic objectives for this course:
1. To develop some simple models that can be usefully applied to generate realistic predictions about the behaviors of important economic variables.
2. To apply the models and management concepts to understand and interpret current world management issues.
3. To familiarize with some basic ideas of management analysis and business problems faced by managers in their daily operations, such as project management, process analysis, quality management, supply chain design, facility location, inventory control, etc.
Teaching Methods
This course contains lectures, class discussions, homework, quizzes, presentation, self-study and exams etc.
Study time
To do well in this course, you need to devote time outside of class for practice and proper preparation. A typical student should need 10 hours of no-class time each week during a regular 20-week semester. Doing this theory paper requires READING time. I encourage all of you to do all assigned homework and practice extra questions.
Attendance and Class Participation
Regular attendance and class participation are expected of all the students. Since the course covers great deal of materials that’s why its very important trying to attend EVERY class on time. Absence which is more than 1/3 of the total teaching hour(16*4/3=21 hrs)will cause an F (a failing grade) directly. And I will record

attendance by random checking. Take class discussion and group assignment serious as your distribution and contribution for your team will affect the whole group’s finals.
Homework Assignments
If you do not attempt to complete the assigned homework its unlikely that your performance in the course will suffer. Most assignments are taken from the textbook. Students who do NOT complete assignments or copy from others will cause dangerous in grade appraisal.
Presentation
Each group is going to be expected to give a 20 minutes presentation. The topic can be selected from the textbook or lectures. A summary relating to the topic is required before your presentation.
Quizzes and Examinations
There will be at least 2 quizzes during the semester. Quizzes may or may not be announced in advance. Quizzes will test your knowledge of both concepts and the application of those concepts. Midterm and final exam may be composed of multiple-choice questions and essay questions etc. Supplementary exams can be applied if students fail the 1st attempt.
