MGT 440 - Logistics Case Analysis

Class Hours: 3, Units: 3
Prerequisite(s): MGT 340, MGT 420
This is a capstone course in logistics management requiring students to utilize and integrate their knowledge acquired in courses taken previously which deal with supply chains, transportation, and logistics. Several modes of learning advance students’ ability to analyze complex logistics and supply chain scenarios and make decisions. Student teams compete in a logistics operations simulation with the goal of maximizing logistics contribution through their decision making. Case studies with both written reports and presentations teach students to apply modern principles and practices to achieve competitive advantage. Short critical reviews of current journal articles show how modern techniques are applied. A logistics consulting project with an outside client allows students to see and deal with real situations and practitioners. Quantitative and qualitative modeling techniques will be employed and Microsoft Excel, as well as other computer software, will be utilized.
