" Supply Chain and Operations are the backbone of an enterprise. Managing them effectively can provide an outstanding competitive boost, but it requires strategic vision skills and knowledge of the appropriate operational tools. In recent years, the profound transformation of the value system generated the need to renew the managerial skills of those who work in these corporate functions. The objective of the master is to train these profiles of excellence, helping them to value the role of Supply Chain and Operations like driving forces of the competitiveness of their enterprise. "

A correct layout of the Supply Chain and business Operations requires the skills to assess ex ante the economic and financial effects of the decisions that are taken and to check them ex post. The course adopts this perspective, providing  participants with the management accounting tools aimed at understanding the budget of a current or prospective supplier, making assessments for business decisions, understanding the trade-off between discounts and deferments of payment in a commercial negotiation, assessing the Total Cost of Ownership of a supply. All these concepts will be illustrated by means of cases taken from real business applications.

  • Economic analysis of the operating processes
  • Total Cost of Ownership of the supplier
  • Assessment of the financial impact of different layouts of the Supply Chain
  • From the purchase cost to the Life Cycle Costing
  • Economic-financial analysis of current or prospective suppliers: managerial techniques and assessments
  • Value creation throughout the supply chain
Visani Franco

When dealing with the topic of the “enlarged operating system”, both the impact of purchases on competitiveness and the policies that can be implemented for the creation and management of a supply chain consistent with the pursued strategy will be highlighted.

  • The strategic positioning of the company and the identification of critical success factors
  • The alignment between business strategy and production system
  • Operations and Supply Chain as value generators
  • Production strategies and multi-location
  • The make or buy decisions: vertical integration or production decentralization
  • The supply chain strategy: orientation towards efficiency or responsiveness
Contino Giovanni
Zanoni Andrea

Businesses increasingly recognize that the customer starts the consumer experience when they interact with all the physical elements involved in the experience, not just the purchase phase. Today, we know that the physical and digital environments play multiple roles in the customer experience: they modulate the degree of customer autonomy during the consumer experience and shape the relationships between the customer and employees. Increasingly, the physical and digital environments can influence clients’ cognitive reactions (e.g., orientation capacity), affective reactions (e.g., pleasure), and behavioral reactions (e.g., the desire to stay or move away). The course addresses these issues by providing participants with solid theoretical foundations on the effects of the consumer environment on individuals through several examples of how these principles can be translated into reality.

Orsingher Chiara

The stringent regulations in the field of emissions and recycling and the widespread awareness of the need to reduce the impact that the production and development system has on the planet and on humanity, makes more and more contemporary talk about sustainability and Supply Chain Sustainable.

The purpose of this workshop is to analyze the production system and the entire Supply Chain from the point of view of potential impacts on the environment and society and to present methods and tools for the analysis of sustainability and for the identification of the best Trade-off between efficiency and environmental sustainability, if in contrast, as well as enhancing any synergistic elements between these two drivers.

Mora Cristina

The introduction of new organizational designs and the adoption of digital technologies require processes of change that must be structured. In both cases it is a complex path that has a strong impact on established rules and habits and with respect to which people show resistance to change. To overcome these resistances, processes are activated that, starting from the definition of objectives and long-term strategies, are declined into actions that must be planned and controlled.

 

Brandalesi Marco

The main focus of the course is on complex supply chains with an overview of examples on the case of semiconductors, rare earths, and their increasing impact in legacy industries such as automotive. The course, addresses how new technologies impact traditional manufacturing chains. Case studies and real-world examples are provided to understand production complexities, unexpected lead times, market-imposed range changes, and risk mitigation strategies, helping to form a picture of the challenges that traditional industries will be expected to face as technology advances.

Learning approach

 

Each course starts within a residential session and usually takes a half day spent in class. The teacher gives an introductory lesson, assesses the level of expertise of participants, describes the goals and contents of the module as well as the best methods to use the material included in the platform.

During the following weeks, the participants will continue the course interacting with the e-learning platform. Therefore, learning has a linear path, continuously monitored by the tutor, who is always open to explanations and further discussions. The plan provides for about 8 hours of individual study per week.

Over the weeks dedicated to each course, two residential one-day meetings are held. They focus on explanations and discussions of the topics of the ongoing course. Therefore, this model of course allows a repeated alternation of individual study with classroom lessons, which we deem particularly useful for learning.

The Master’s Course features 6 tests to assess the learning level.

Plant Director, Glem Gas
EMSCO (ed. 2016/2017)

"The pursuit of improving my professional performance, led me to face the Master in Supply Chain & Operations with BBS.

This helped me to drop the tools seen at the Master in my business reality."

EMSCO (ed. 2016/2017)

"Why participate in an executive master? It's like making more light. It improves the vision, you see new details, other shades.

No, it is not. The Executive Masters are not University Masters, therefore they do not have ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), that in Italy are called “crediti formativi universitari (CFU).

At the end of the Master, a certificate of attendance (which includes the achieved results) and a Diploma of Participation (upon verification of successful completion of each course and of at least a 70% of class attendance) are issued.

No, because it is not a university Master.
