The main purpose of the Supply Chain Management 2 module is to build further on the main supply chain themes and concepts you have learned about in the Supply Chain Management I module. On successful completion of this module, you should be equipped with intellectual knowledge and applied competence and understanding of various processes and activities that comprise supply chain management. This knowledge will enable you to apply what you have learned to a wide range of activities within the logistics and supply chain environment
Upon completion of this module, students will be able to evaluate global sourcing decisions, manage supply chain risks and uncertainties, and apply aggregate planning and sales and operations planning to improve profitability. They will analyse supply chain coordination, demand variability, product availability, safety inventory, and capacity allocation to enhance operational performance. Students will understand the role of information technology, collaborative planning, and supply chain drivers in improving coordination and decision-making. They will also evaluate supply chain sustainability, apply relevant performance metrics, and identify opportunities to improve environmental and operational sustainability across supply chain activities.
