Managing Product Flow
Supply Chains are made up of a network of companies from the initial raw materials to the ultimate consumer of the finished product. Within this network of companies, there are three ongoing flows: products, information, and finances. To properly understand the supply chain and manage it, you need to understand all of the flows. The first of five courses in this Specialization will focus on the flow of products, information, and finances in the Supply Chain. This module will cover not only the introduction of the course but also the overall product flow goals that supply chain executives are trying to accomplish when building a supply chain.
Managing Information FlowThe second of three flows is how information moves in the Supply Chain. In this module, you will learn how information enhances the supply chain. Next, we will cover information systems within the firm. Lastly, we will cover how information reaches customers. Specifically, we will cover blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, as well as machine learning.
Managing Financial FlowWelcome to the third and final flow in the supply chain: finances. In this module, we introduce the financial aspect of SCM, while covering the basic financial statements as well as the cash conversion cycle, an important metric that combines SCM and finance.
