A supply chain simulation exercise will be part of the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics’ (MIT CTL) “Supply Chain Management: Driving Strategic Advantage 2009” executive education course, January 6-9, 2009, in Cambridge, MA.
This four-day program for supply chain executives combines hands-on management exercises, case studies, and highly interactive sessions. You will connect with thought leaders and other practitioners to broaden your horizons and hear about cutting-edge approaches to handling uncertainty.
Specifically, the program:
- Presents useful tools, models, and business processes for supply chain management
- Explores new ideas in supply chain integration
- Demonstrates how excellence in supply chain management yields business success
The online supply chain simulation takes participants through key practices, such as creating a balanced supply chain across suppliers with different lead times, building flexibility into the supply chain to avoid stock-outs and excess inventory, and evaluating and using demand forecasts.
There are a limited number of seats available, so individuals who are interested in the course are encouraged to register as early as possible. There are special rates for MIT CTL partners, as well as Center for Latin-American Logistics Education (CLI) and Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) members.
