Logistics as a Lifecycle Discipline
|
Course Overview: With the recent surge to improve and integrate logistics products, this course has been developed to target both the academic as well as practitioner audience. On the academic side, it would be an appropriate logistics body-of-knowledge recap for both undergraduate and graduate students concentrating in logistics and supply chain management. From a practitioner view, it will serve as both an introduction to the field of life cycle logistics and as a "refresher" update for both the concepts and methodology used today in these functional roles.
