Background Details

The Supply Chain Management Course is one of the the modules under the Logistics Pathway. This module focuses on the study of business relationships between a company, its suppliers and its customers. Students develop in-depth knowledge of the entire flow of the end-to-end supply chain, from raw materials to finished products. A special emphasis is placed in information and supply flow through the value chain and the management of relationships.

The module can also serve as an introduction to other Logistics Pathway subjects such as Operation Management, Global Logistics and Supply Chain Planning and Control where specific in-depth supply chain processes and mathematical models will be discussed.

Module Aims

The aim of this module is to provide students with an overview of the theory and practice of Supply Chain Management. It takes a process approach in that it provides a guiding framework in helping to understand the decisions involved in designing a supply chain strategy.

This module focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of SCM, and its role in enhancing customer fulfilment. It discusses the critical issues involved in supply chain design, and examines bridges to supply chain integration and collaboration.

The module draws on student prior learning or work experience and combines insights from strategy, international trade and investment theory, human resource management and other areas.

The assessment tasks for this module have been designed with this in mind as detailed later in the study guide.
