9 sections • 16 lectures • 2h 3m total length

Fundamentals of Supply Chain Management7:03
Coordinate suppliers, manufacturers, logistics, retailers, and customers into a synchronized, value-driven supply chain using forecasting, data analytics, and machine learning to optimize inventory, procurement, and risk.
Evolution of Supply Chain Engineering8:34
Trace the evolution of supply chain engineering from industrial revolution optimization to AI-driven, data-informed networks. Build resilient, sustainable, end to end systems through digital twins, IoT, ERP, and cross-functional collaboration.

Network Design and Facility Location Optimization9:15
Optimize supply chain network design and facility locations using optimization models and GIS. Balance transportation costs, lead time, service levels, sustainability, and risk with data-driven, scalable, and customer-centric approaches.
Strategic Supply Chain Configuration7:04
Designs and aligns facilities, inventory, and transportation to support business strategy, balancing cost, speed, resilience, and sustainability through analytics and scenario planning.

Lean Systems and Six Sigma in Supply Chain7:06
Apply lean and Six Sigma to reduce waste and variability, improving delivery times and quality across the supply chain. Use value-stream mapping, Kanban, and DMAIC to sustain continuous improvement.
Workflow Engineering and Process Mapping7:54
Learn how workflow engineering and process mapping uncover waste, bottlenecks, and opportunities to optimize supply chain performance through visualization, frontline collaboration, standardized processes, and automation.

Data-Driven Decision Making6:47
Data driven decision making fuels real time visibility across the supply chain by turning cleansed data into insights. Use dashboards and predictive analytics to forecast demand and reduce risk.
Predictive Analytics in Demand Forecasting7:34
Predictive analytics converts historical and external data—market dynamics, economic indicators, weather, promotions, and social media sentiment—into supply chain forecasts guiding procurement, production, and logistics with machine learning.

Freight Transportation Planning6:54
Plan freight transportation by evaluating road, rail, air, and sea options; optimize routes, consolidate shipments, and align with demand forecasts to balance cost, speed, reliability, and sustainability.
Smart Logistics and Digital Twins9:03
Explore how smart logistics and digital twins fuse IoT, AI, robotics, and cloud computing to enable real-time visibility and optimize routing, inventory, and sustainability across the supply chain.

Warehouse Layout and Design Principles8:38
Master warehouse layout and design principles that optimize flow, reduce bottlenecks, and cut costs through zoning, racking, and alignment with receiving, storage, picking, and shipping.
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) Engineering8:58
Engineers design warehouse management systems to act as a digital brain, integrate data and automation with ERP, and optimize inventory tracking, order fulfillment, and returns with real-time insights.

Risk Identification and Assessment in SCM7:42
Identify and assess risks across physical, financial, technological, environmental, and geopolitical domains. Map the end-to-end value chain using data quality, multi-tier heat maps, and scenario workshops to drive actionable mitigation.
Business Continuity Engineering6:29
Develops business continuity engineering by embedding redundancy, agility, and rapid recovery into supply networks and facilities, defining critical functions and minimum viable throughput for swift, resilient operations.

Requirements
