Subject SCM Date: September 15, 2020

Syllabus for ESE September 2020

The syllabus is for ESE September 2020 for the subject SCM is as follows. It is strictly as
taught before lockdown. The syllabus has been provided by one of your classmates.

Part A Inventory Control and Remark

Management
1 Inventory-types, purpose, relevant cost
All the deterministic Inventory models
Selective Inventory Management
(SIM)- ABC, VED, HML, XYZ etc
Inventory control system- Continues
review system (Q-system) and periodic
review system (P -Sytem)
2 Determination of reorder level
involving probabilistic demand during
lead time
and variable lead time
Normal and uniform demand
distribution
Focus only on formula-based problems and ignore the
derivations (000 notes ignore)
SIM is theoretical and notes are provided (ABC/VED)
P and Q system are part of deterministic models
It involves determination of safety stock and reorder level
assuming demand follows a normal distribution. No new or
probabilistic model is added.
You may refer OR book – Hira Gupta and syllabus of (1), (2)
and (3) is even less than a Chapter. Considering the difficulties
faced by the students, the syllabus of part A is significantly
reduced.

Part B Supply Chain Management

[Chapter 1 and 2 following section) Both of us are using same book and same edition except that
Book: Sunil Chopra, Peter Meindl and book with me is Indian Edition (VJTI Library) and you may
Dharam Vir Kalara (6th Ed)] have Global Edition. The subsection numbers are given by one
of your classmates.
Chapter 1 Understanding the supply
