Description
Digitalization is revolutionizing how companies design, plan, and monitor their supply chains in various ways. The use of modern technologies and digital solutions is giving rise to new supply chain concepts and business models on the one hand; on the other, companies can achieve efficiency gains, cost savings, and improved customer satisfaction through their use.
In this seminar offered every summer semester, selected developments in digital supply chain management are analyzed and discussed from a business perspective. Here we focus on the economic evaluation of new approaches and their effects rather than on the development and application of new processes (the latter is the subject of the complementary seminar "Supply Chain Analytics", which is offered in the winter semester).
The seminar has a main topic each semester. Next summer semester, the main topic will be "eCommerce Supply Chains". The focus will be on new business models and concepts for fulfilling online orders.
A list of topics can be found here.
