The module aims at providing the basics on supply chain resiliency, intended as the ability of a company to protect the continuity of supply and achieve sustained operational performance in the event of global mult-tier disruptions of any type at any frequency from ongoing to catastrophic. The course will focus particularly on SCRM 2000 and on the requirements of ISO 28000, PD 25222, and ISO 31000. Modeling and simulation will be extensively used to support quantitative scenario evaluation over multi-tier, multi-product SCM.
The course addresses the operational structure of the modern and global supply chain by identifying risk mitigation strategies through careful stock management, redundancy and mitigation of operational risks
the lectures are mostly teorically based with the use of case studies, classroom exercises and assigments. Seminars are proposed based on high qualified professionals and managers.
Part 0 - Forecasting techniques
Understand the role of forecasting for both an enterprise and a supply chain.
Identify the components of a demand forecast.
Forecast demand in a supply chain given historical demand data using time-series methodologies.
Analyze demand forecasts to estimate forecast error.
Exercise: assess time series forecasting and analysis

The exam provides for a single evaluation of each of the following elements, the grade being the sum of the individual evaluations:
1. The student's delivery of calculation reports related to Assignments.
2. Oral discussion of an in-depth report on one of the lessons discussed
3. A multiple-choice test on all subjects covered by the course.
4. Evaluation of the frequency of teaching activities (lessons and exercises) proposed in the classroom
Deep verification of the knowledge acquired during the lectures, assigments given to test the students practical skills acquired, effective comunication attitude tested during the discussion of the final assigments reports.
seminars and exercises as well as assigment are proposed during the semester as part of the teaching method.
