• Course Pitch
Supply chain managers in food processing and food retail businesses are grappling with multiple risks across globally dispersed supply chains. The global nature of the supply chain with the sourcing of ingredients across multiple locations both within the company and from suppliers have made food supply chains highly vulnerable and is resulting in a spate of recalls. It is estimated that the food & drink industry could increase its profitability by over 30% just by better risk and recall management practices.
In this course Dr. Atanu Chaudhuri shares his research insights and experience gathered from analyzing and advising innovative food logistics businesses and the logistics function of food processing companies. The following elements have been addressed here:
1. Need of technology in cold chain logistics
2. Current technological solutions in cold chain logistics
3. Industry practices in the adoption of technology in cold chain logistics
4. Using big data for decision making in cold chain logistics
5. Challenges in the adoption of technology in cold chain logistics

The course learning and assessment will help you understand and apply the big data principles and technology to the logistics and supply chain execution within your work/business.
