E331 Supply Chain Management
This module equips students with essential knowledge of Supply Chain Management (SCM) in a business context, focusing on key performance drivers and the strategic integration of SCM with other business functions. Students will analyse common supply chain challenges, evaluate supply chain design decisions, and apply analytical models to support operational and strategic decision-making.
Students will also learn to design and optimise network structures, and apply digital tools to improve operational efficiency. The module introduces Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and examines how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and sustainable practices can be harnessed to enhance supply chain performance and reduce environmental impact. By the end of this module, students will be equipped to assume entry-level roles in SCM, contributing to technology-enabled and sustainable supply chain operations.
