Logistics Technology - May 2012 - $495.00
The Supply Chain is a complex network of links and feedback loops, particularly in term of its communication and information flow – shaped at each step by advances in engineering and information technology. The sheer magnitude of product variety and volume makes complex analysis, the use of information and logistics technology, and the strategic management of the Supply Chain essential.
 Includes use of logistics information technology systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and advanced planning software, to support logistics decisions, application of e-commerce in logistics/supply chain management, use of logistics simulation software, use of currently available business application software such as databases, spreadsheets, project management, and presentations, and other technological areas such as WMS/SCM systems implementation, bar coding and scanning.

Channels of Distribution - May 2012 - $495.00
Channel decisions are among the most critical decisions facing
management. The company's chosen channels intimately affect other
marketing decisions. The company's pricing depends on whether it uses
mass merchandisers or high-quality boutiques. The firm's sales force
and advertising decisions depend on how much training and motivation
the channel partner requires. In addition, the company's channel
decisions involve relatively long-term commitments to other firms. When
an automobile manufacturer signs up independent dealers sell its
automobiles, the manufacturer cannot buy them out the next day and
replace them with company-owned outlets.
Thus, there is a powerful initial tendency in channel
arrangements. Therefore management must choose channels with an eye on
tomorrow's likely selling environment as well as today's. This is an
important area in Supply Chain Management as it determines the level of
integration within the logistics pipeline.
