This course will provide students with exposure to fundamentals of forecasting techniques,
inventory analysis, master production scheduling, material and capacity requirements, and
planning and scheduling methods. Further parts of the course will touch upon recent
developments in manufacturing, Japanese manufacturing techniques, hybrid manufacturing
management system.

EM346 Logistics Management
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisites: EM335
This course provides a survey of the fundamental analytic tools, approaches, and techniques
which are useful in the design and operation of logistics systems and integrated supply chains. The

the underlying concepts involved in both intra and inter-company logistics operations. Main
topics included are: Warehousing management, packaging and materials handling; Inventory
planning, management, and control; Transportation planning, management, and operations;
Vehicle routing, scheduling, and fleet dispatching; Supply chain network design; Procurement,
sourcing, and auctions; Management and minimization of supply chain uncertainty; and Supply
contracts and collaboration.
