Advanced SCM Applications

This is a capstone course which, through a variety of activities, encourages students to apply and extend their Supply Chain & Operations Management knowledge and skills in integrated ways. Specifically: 1) Students will participate in a series of computer-based simulations using SAP software. This series of increasingly complex simulations builds on the student's previous experience in courses that emphasized the more transactional aspects of SAP. In this course, students will formulate, execute, evaluate and adjust business strategy as they use SAP to manage team-based virtual businesses. 2) Using a computer-based supply chain simulation game called "Blue Connection", students will work in teams to make business decisions designed to transform their virtual company from a linear to a circular supply chain model while striving for business profitability. Using financial reports and key performance indicators, students will evaluate the results of their business decisions, and identify opportunities for strategic improvement over time. SCMT6201 is the third of the three courses in the Supply Chain & Operations Management Advanced Diploma program that, upon completion with a minimum grade of 70%, contributes to the attainment of the SAP Student Recognition Award.
