with demand. Ideally, products should be available exactly when, where, and in the amount needed. In reality, various obstacles exist that render this a very challenging task for companies. Inventories can help in this respect. They allow companies to decouple supply and demand so that supply processes can be designed more efficiently. However, inventories come at a cost and analysis is needed to determine how inventory should be used to make supply processes more efficient.\u00a0<br>This course discusses the different roles inventory plays within the supply chain. It introduces quantitative models that capture the trade-off between inventory holding costs and performance in meeting demand with supply.\u00a0<br>Core topics of this course include:<\/p><ul><li>Lot-sizing: EOQ; Wagner-Whitin<\/li><li>Forecasting and demand fitting<\/li><li>Newsvendor model<\/li><li>Multi-period replenishment decisions (different replenishment policies)<\/li><li>VMI Sourcing, Advance demand information<br><\/li><\/ul>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Grading scheme: 20 points (0-20) \/ min 10\/20 for passing grade.<\/p><br><p>70% Written exam &#8211; Assess individual insight in Inventory Management concepts, basic analytical skills.<\/p><br><p>15% Take-home assignment &#8211; Assess Computational and Project Skills with Newsvendor and EOQ models.<\/p><br><p>15% Take-home assignment &#8211; Assess Computational skills in Forecasting, Lot sizing and Stochastic Inventory Control.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Literature:<\/p><br><p>Course book:<\/p><br><ul><br><li>Silver, E.A., Pyke, D.F., Thomas, D.J.

chains are networks of organisations (suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers) that jointly supply and transform materials, and distribute products and services to consumers. All parties involved have their own objectives but are also dependent on each other to serve the final customer.<\/p><p>Supply chain management addresses the interplay between individual objectives and overall supply chain performance. If designed and managed properly, these networks are a crucial source of competitive advantage for both manufacturing and service enterprises. In this course, a framework of supply chain drivers is developed that helps understand and predict the financial performance of a firm\u2019s supply chain strategy.<\/p><p>A key insight is that supply chain coordination can generate a win-win situation that benefits all supply chain members.

The other 2 will be open questions about articles provided during the exam. The students will have to extrapolate from the reading demonstrating their understanding of the concept or topic beyond what is explained in the articles.\u00a0 The number of points of each question will be indicated on the exam question list.<\/p><br><p>50% Presentation &#8211; Evaluate the application of the theoretical concept in a used cash and capability to extend research of data beyond the course.

the requirements of dynamic business environment where organizations constantly need to introduce new products, processes, or programs to survive.\u00a0<\/p><p>In this course, the fundamental concepts of project management, with an emphasis on the trade-offs involved, will be presented. Several case studies, relevant in the supply chain domain, will be discussed.\u00a0<\/p><p>Moreover, students will be introduced to the concepts, tools and methodologies developed to assist project managers. Specifically, the course will focus on Project Management in Practice with PROSIGA, a project simulation game, in which the overall evolution of a project will be faced. In this way, we recreate a \u201creal\u201d, interactive environment in which management skills can be developed without the risk of failure.<\/p><p>Topics covered in the second part of this course are, amongst others:<\/p><ul><li>Time-Cost\u2013Quality trade-offs<\/li><li>Critical path method (CPM) and the PERT model<\/li><li>Capacity and resource allocation and levelling<\/li><li>Project planning and controlling<\/li><li>Project execution and monitoring<br><\/li><\/ul>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Grading scheme: 20 points (0-20) \/ min 10\/20 for passing grade.<\/p><br><p>30% Case study &#8211;\u00a0Novo Nordisk case study report (1) is to be submitted individually, by email just before the class discussion.

This is an essential and mandatory part of the Master programme, as it is a prime opportunity for our students to learn from logistics and supply chain experts about their daily challenges, and solutions that have been applied.\u00a0<br>These insights complement the content taught in the LSCM (Logistics &amp; Supply Chain Management) curriculum. Moreover, it allows students to build their network in Luxembourg, the Greater Region, and beyond, by interacting directly with corporate speakers. For the speakers and their HR colleagues, the Industry Seminars are a great opportunity to present their company to the LSCM students and to enhance their potential talent pool generally \u2013 independently of the company\u2019s prevailing recruitment context.\u00a0<br>The seminars may include companies such as CFL (Luxembourgish National Railway Company), Cargolux Airlines, POST (largest postal and telecommunications services in Luxembourg), Ferrero, Amazon, PwC, Grosbusch and many more.<br>Students also attend events organised by the Cluster for Logistics (C4L).<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>90% Quizzes &#8211;\u00a0A couple of days after a visit, seminar, or conference, the students will be administered a quiz on Moodle with 4 multiple choice questions relevant to the event they participated in, and 1 open ended reflective question.

This course studies issues that arise in multi-party value networks, where coordinating the interests of all parties involved is challenging. One major difficulty is that each entity in the supply chain is interested in maximizing their own performance but not necessarily the utility of the entire supply chain. To ensure coordination, contracting arrangements and different modes of supply chain partnerships, as well as their key success factors are considered. In addition to coordination through contracting, this course covers several key concepts in procurement such as: supplier scoring, strategic sourcing, total cost of ownership, procurement centralization, e-sourcing, sustainable sourcing, supply chain resilience, and negotiations.<\/p><br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n
