Course content
The course is in supply chain management, and strategies, planning and control of the flow of products and information between companies in the supply chain. Key strategies, designs and planning and control principles will be elaborated using recognised theories and practices within the field. Focus is on the relationship between the key processes and functions in the supply chain, such as purchasing, warehousing, production, distribution and sales, and how the flow of products should be aligned with demand and customer requirements. The course provides a basic introduction to supply chain management, and is linked to our research activity in the field.
