Module content

The supply chain plays a vital role in the success of organisations. Supply chain management is responsible for ensuring the flow of products, information and money to ensure value is added to the end consumers and return on capital employed for the entire supply chain is improved. As the networks become more complex, with more variability and the customer's expectation of shorter lead times, there is a need to give students a more in-depth understanding of this function, viewed from a systems perspective. This means the focus has to change from make and sell what can be made (push-and -promote) to make and sell what can be sold (position-and-pull).More detail is provided in the elective manual.
