RELATIONS TO PREVIOUS PROGRAM
The programme in Operations and Supply Chain Analytics replaces our previous programme in Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
The core concept of the new programme is still operations and SCM, but modified to accommodate the recent supply chain challenges and trends:
• supply chains will have to manage, analyze, and secure the massive amounts of data they receive from suppliers and customers worldwide by going digital.
• the right combination of technology, data, and processes can help overcome supply chain challenges.

WHAT IS O&SCM?
Operations and Supply Chain Management (O&SCM) is about planning and controlling the activities of a company in order to secure that the right product is delivered
• in the right quantities, • in the right condition, and • to the right customer, • at the right time, and • at the right price!

WHAT IS ANALYTICS?
Analytics refers to the scientific process of transforming data into insights for making better decisions in businesses (Definition of INFORMS.org).
Analytic tools to handle the O&SCM problems:• Big data management: Storing, integrating, analyzing, updating, and using huge amounts of
data in real time.
• Decision making: Framing a decision problem and choosing the best option.
• Optimization: Math methods to find the best solution to a particular type of problem to meet desired criteria.
• Computer simulations: Show how systems perform under different conditions and allow users to test various ways to model a system or possible approaches to a problem.
• ……

• Focus on real solutions - we don’t want quantitative models to be used only for the sake of an intellectual exercise.
• Focus on the ability to explore the big picture – we want students to be able to capture the valuable important insights they will need in their future career, rather than being bogged down with details and equations.
