Course Description

This course generally refers to a network of business entities working together to deliver a product or service to market. Therefore, supply chain management extends the study of logistics beyond the boundaries of a single organisation and places particular emphasis on the interfaces between the ‘chain’ or ‘network’ of enterprises engaged in moving products, services, and information, from suppliers through intermediaries to end users and/or consumers.

The overarching framework around which the course content is organised is the supply chain management performance and capability continuum which has three critical components, namely operational excellence, supply chain integration and collaboration, and virtual supply chains.

This course aims to introduce you to the basic concepts and principles of supply chain management and logistics with focus on the above-mentioned three critical components. In this course, the development of supply chain principles using inventory management, just-in-time, and e-supply chain techniques will be explored. The issues of integration, coordination and collaboration across organisations and throughout the supply chain will be addressed and discussed using case studies.

CLO3: Apply specialised discipline skills to independently interpret and transmit logistics and supply chain knowledge, capabilities and ideas to specialist and non-specialist audiences.

CLO4: Conduct research to understand applications of supply chain management concepts in practice.

Overview of Learning Activities
