COURSE OVERVIEW

Supply chain digitalization creates opportunities for connecting disparate systems in the supply chain to enable communication within and across organizations to create a single source of truth for information. Digitized supply chains allow you to accurately visualize your upstream and downstream supply chain activities. They empower your procurement planning and sourcing and enable supply chain and logistics teams to collaborate, automate and effectively leverage data analytics to fulfill customer needs and improve decision making. In this course, we will focus on existing and emerging digital technologies used in supply chain management. We will further explore how to create a digital supply chain network, as well as how analytics can be implemented to improve supply chain performance. Finally, we will cover how digitalization can be leveraged to enhance supply chain functions
