          1. Course Description: The wealth of a country is measured by its gross national product – the output of goods (physical products) & services (performance of some useful function such as banking, medical care, social service etc.), and generation of this wealth/value creation is dependent on smooth and effective flow of various kinds of materials. Sourcing and materials management function in a business organization is responsible for plans and designs for the procurement and delivery, distribution, storage, collection, and removal of occupant-generated streams of materials and services. Poor planning and control of materials, lack of materials when needed, poor identification of materials, re-handling and inadequate storage cause losses in labor productivity and overall delays that can indirectly increase total production costs. This course introduces advanced topics related to sourcing in global business environment and lean materials management. The discussions will also include maintenance & spares management, returns management and specific issues under project environment conditions.
          2. Learning Objective: After completing this course, students should be able to:
          · Describe the importance of sourcing and materials management function in an organization, and how it can help in integrating various plans and reduce the material related costs;
          · Provide a basic knowledge of the issues and methods involved in technology enabled purchasing, contract management and value-added materials management;
          · Develop skills in techniques used in managing inventories, and reducing surplus and obsolete materials;
          · Build up expertise in management issues related to sourcing, receiving, stores, traffic and transportation, warehousing and physical distribution.
