IEN–555, Enterprise Systems II

2001 Catalog Data: IEN–555, Enterprise Systems II: Supply and Delivery Chain Engineering

Credits: (4-0-4)

Course Description:  This course takes the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) concept beyond the boundaries of organizations and interrelates them directly to the functions and processes of external organizational systems. Inter-organizational process linkages and cutting edge engineering methodologies for this integration are discussed through emerging technologies of supply chain engineering and delivery chain engineering.

Pre-requisite: Senior I standing

Corequisites:  None

Textbook: ERP Tools, Techniques and Applications for Integrating the Supply Chain, by Carol A. Ptak, Eli Schragenheim (Editor) – Subject to change

References: Introduction to Supply Chain Management by Robert Handfield and Ernest L. Jr. Nichols; Class handouts

Course Learning Objectives:  Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to:

• Describe the flow of materials across the supply and delivery chains Analyze and evaluate inter-organizational process linkages (IE PEOs 1,3,4,5)

• Discuss the use of the Internet-based emerging technologies for the integration of suppliers and customers to an enterprise (IE PEOs 1,2,5)

• Define and describe vertical industry structures (IE PEOs 1,2,4,5)

• Describe inter-enterprise process linkages and modeling in vertical industries (IE PEOs 1,3,4,5)

• Design and model the flow of goods and information between enterprises (IE PEOs 4,5)

• Discuss issues on strategic planning for process improvement through supplier relations (IE PEOs 2,4)

• Describe supply and delivery chain engineering as applied to mass-customization philosophy (IE PEOs 2,3,4)

• Apply supply and delivery chain engineering concepts to effective and efficient implementations of lean manufacturing systems (IE PEOs 2,4)

• Analyze the impacts and costs of extended enterprise technologies (IE PEOs 2,5)
