The Supply Chain Planning course walks learners through the critical first step in Supply Chain Management, planning. In the course project scenario, your company supplies Personal Protective Equipment and ventilators to hospitals and clinics across the US. You have been asked by your company’s executives and state health officials to prepare an analysis of the US, by state and region, identifying locations of highest need for supplies and ventilators.
