Program Curriculum
Course Structure
- The academic program consists of 5 modules with 4 forty-hour courses each, designed to expand the practical and methodological knowledge of the participants.
- These modules cover the latest developments in theory, tools and best practices in supply chain management.
- Each module can be followed independently which allows participants to follow the program over more than one year. The subjects are tackled concretely by case studies presented by business professionals, are developed from a methodological point of view by professors from universities involved in the program and may be common with those presented in France and Canada.
- Each module concludes with one-week international team business games to integrate the concepts covered in class. These business games are Web-based simulations and players within a team use the Internet to collaborate, to reach decisions, to implement these decisions and to examine the results obtained. Some of the games are designed to develop a better understanding of fundamental supply chain concepts such as the Bullwhip effect and Risk pooling, but others are competitive games involving multi-enterprise strategic and tactical business decisions.
- The courses are taught in English in Lausanne at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, and principally in French at the Ãcole des Ponts ParisTech/AFTRAL.
