What BUSI 615 covers
Readings come from a Liberty University custom text titled Logistics, about two to four chapters per module, from MRP in the modern world in Module/Week 1 to global supply chains in Module/Week 8, each module with a video lecture and Webex office hours.
Every forum pairs a thread of 1,000 words in Module/Weeks 1, 3, 5 and 7 (30 points) with two 500-word replies the following week (20 points); the faith assignment puts a main post of about 750 words in Module/Week 4 and a 500-word response in Module/Week 5; teams submit a 75-point Integrated Learning Project each week and the 200-point final model in Module/Week 8.
This course covers logistics concepts and systems with respect to their collective impact on organizational performance. Other topics covered in the course include planning and implementation, demand forecasting, distribution, inventory management, transportation and warehousing. Relevant technologies for maximizing logistics efficiencies are also emphasized.

Where BUSI 615 papers lose points
BUSI 615 posts lose points when a forum thread falls short of 1,000 words or lists acronyms without showing the planning logic, when a reply misses its 500 words or only agrees, and when the final report restates the spreadsheet instead of interpreting it, leaves the cost-benefit assumptions hidden or recommends an ERP vendor without criteria drawn from the firm.
