Stanford Professor creates e-Learning Materials on Supply Chain Management
Professor Warren Hausman, a long-time faculty member in the AeA/SEI program, has created a series of e-learning modules for Supply Chain Management. They cover the following topics as applied to supply chain management:

• Aligning Supply Chain Strategies

• Efficiency and Cost Savings

• Responsiveness

• Internet Technologies

• Performance Measures

• Product and Process Design (to be released shortly)

The modules contain brief exercises (with immediate feedback) and animations designed to take advantage of the Internet in delivering educational material. Each module also contains a test.

Professor Hausman comments: “These modules were created with the express intent of enabling motivated professionals to deepen their knowledge of supply chain management concepts and principles on a 24x7 basis. Furthermore, organizations can use them for groups of employees and supply chain partners as foundations for change management.” See www.supplychainonline.com for further information.  Read more about Smart Supply Chains
