The course provides an indepth treatment of the relationships between independent firms in a supply chain through the analysis of their behavior, contractual frame, product, process and market choices. The first part of the course aims at understanding and modelling the strategic behavior between firms using the tools of LSM2031 and game theory in order to understand how to design the features and parameters of supply chain information. The second part looks at supplier relationsships from a strategic perspective, interfacing with procurement, production planning and product innovation, to understand the scope and limits of the previously defined tools in contexts such as e.g. armslength, partnerships and supplier pools. Strategic sourcing is a collaborative and systematic approach to reduce external spending, while improving quality, internal processes and total cost of ownership or usage.

| Aims |
At the end of the class, students should be able to
- Identify, formulate, solve and critically review coordination problems in the supply chain.
- Model, resolve and interpret models to predict, recommend and implement supply chain solutions
- Distinguish and classify supplier relationships with respect to product, process and market properties.

| Content |
The class mixes interactive seminars on the topics with case studies and corporate site visits to provide students with a feeling for the relevance and context of the subject matter. The first part is illustrated with several roleplaying exercises to visualize and experience the topics. The second part includes a real-life case study that permits hands-on experience in the sourcing field.
