Supply Network Analysis and Modelling

The Supply Network is a very important competitive factor for any business. Today’s competition is both among companies and on the Supply Networks. The course introduces Supply Network modelling frameworks and then gradually develops applied soft and hard modelling techniques that are used in the analysis of Supply Network decision making. The frameworks along with the soft methods lead to the definition of the problem that is to be further analysed using hard models. Hard models are then gradually discussed, developed and used in problems ranging from small tasks to more complicated problems. The intended learning outcomes of being able to effectively combine the benefits of each approach are further consolidated by the analysis of industry case studies.
