Offered by RWTH Aachen, RWTHx,
An Introduction to Data-Driven Supply Chain Resilience Management (edX)

This course teaches the foundations of data-driven supply chain resilience management and prepares the students to lead the discussion on supply chain resilience within their company. Globalization, off-shoring and the just in time paradigm have created vulnerable supply chains that are suffering from unprecedented shocks like COVID-19 and increasing disruptions from climate change.
