A systems view is needed to ensure appropriate use of scarce resources to meet the multiple, and often conflicting, short- and long-term goals from multiple constituents. This course will focus on conceptual and modeling skills to understand and effectively manage supply chains and operations from a systems perspective. Models will address system characteristics (e.g., demand dependencies) that drive system dynamics and policies to regulate performance. Course topics include methods for improving coordination and collaboration, addressing demand dependencies, and reliably measuring and evaluating system performance.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003EWHO SHOULD ATTEND\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis course is designed for tactical and strategic members of non-governmental organizations, private corporations involved in the humanitarian relief efforts, U.S. federal government employees, U.S. state or local government employees, humanitarian foundation members, program managers, directors of field operations, disaster relief managers, director of logistics and inventory, and logistics officers.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003EHOW YOU WILL BENEFIT\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EIdentify opportunities for coordination within organizations and collaboration across organizations for increased efficiency and improved outcomes.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EDescribe the strategic behavior of decision-makers and the impact of the market (or contract) structure on the participant\u0026#39;s actions and the overall system dynamics.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EDefine evaluation metrics in alignment with the system goals and structure system operations and incentives that address and evaluate these metrics.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003EWHAT IS COVERED\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ECoordination and collaboration improvement\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EDemand dependencies\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EInventory variability and costs mitigation and reduction\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003ECOURSE MATERIALS\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProvided\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EParticipants receive readings, case studies, spreadsheet files, and lecture slides, and will be given access to the pre-course web-based activities.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERecommended\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EStudents need a laptop with Microsoft Excel and the ability to connect to a high-speed internet connection (internet access is provided for onsite portions of course).\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003ECOURSE PREREQUISITES\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor those interested in earning the Health and Humanitarian Supply Chain Management Certificate,\u0026nbsp;this course is the third and final\u0026nbsp;of the three-course certificate program.
