A global learning experience in supply chain logistics management

Abstract

Global competition created multinational supply chains where raw materials from different countries are manufactured in a country, marketed in another, and consumed by consumers in different countries so that cost-effective production and higher customer service levels can be achieved by taking a systems approach to supply chain management. Therefore, a key to successful management is acquaintance with interdisciplinary and multicultural environments and utilization of communication technologies. In this research, a global teaching framework for industrial engineering and business students is developed and evaluated.
