Credits: 4

This course uses the case-study method to integrate the various subcomponents of effective logistics management. It will use real data from participating Richard Bland College project management alliance companies. This course will cover specific activities that integrate project management principles with project event management, taking project events from pre-award to closure. Students will investigate and evaluate different methods for measuring project performance, including Program Evaluation and Review Techniques (PERT) to ascertain probabilistic project completion times and Critical Path Method (CPM) approaches that investigate cost management and project acceleration techniques. The course will also cover team member selection and evaluation, project reporting processes, project event conflict and risk management, and coordinating project events across the enterprise and along the supply chain. This course exposes students to approaches, methods, and systems to ensure management success under demanding cost, schedule, and performance requirements. The course culminates in a formal report and executive presentation to the instructor and to the Richard Bland College project management alliance company.
