Supply chains are generally considered as a network of nodes with each node adding value to products that swiftly flow through the logistics and IT pipelines connecting the nodes, finally emerging out as finished products for consumption. From the single owner vertical integrated network, supply chain networks have evolved into a globally dispersed multiple owner networks, each controlling the respective nodes and the links, in coordination and collaboration with other stakeholders. There are also lots of government interventions in the production matters in the form of protectionist regulations and preferences to local firms in government procurement. Thus we see that the supply chains are affected by factors other than those relating to their partners and their performance. There is a tremendous need for supply chain redesign. This course is a first step in that direction.
