Course name: “Supply Chain Diagnostics”
1. Abstract:
The most interesting and challenging part of logisticians' work include analysis of current
logistic business processes and finding reserves to improve operational efficiency. Successful
supply chain optimization and achieved savings always assume the previous step of clearly
structured and well-managed diagnostics.
Supply Chain diagnostics is a course about structural approach for analysis and investigation
of operational efficiency in a number of areas within supply chain management. Classes will
cover the following key SCM areas:
•
•
•
•
Procurement
Warehousing
Transportation
Inventory management
Approach for diagnostics within each area will include general sequence of steps, key aspects
of SC efficiency to investigate, list of questions to address, examples of benchmarks and good
practices to consider when comparing the current and the target states of supply chain and
defining major deviations. Students also will be introduced to existent tools and methods for
collection, processing and visualization of raw data and final results / conclusions of
diagnostics.
Course will help students to build up professional look on supply chain functional areas,
develop skills for express analysis and problem identification, improve overall supply chain
competence.

5. Course assessment
Final grade formula:
FG = 0.6 * ((C1+C2+C3+C4+C5)/5) + 0.4 * T, where
C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 – marks for case work in groups
T – mark for control test
Control test (T) includes closed questions with multiple choice and open ended questions
(practical mini-tasks). Open ended questions have higher weight in the test mark.
