Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' In this module, students are introduced to a number of the leading approaches to supply chain management. At the heart of the module is an investigation of ’lean thinking’. The basis of this approach is a view that business success is predicated on taking waste out of supply chains. This ’lean’ school of thought is responsible for developing such concepts as partnership sourcing and lean supply.

In the module, the ideas behind ’lean thinking’ and the operational tools required to implement it are examined. The tools include purchase portfolio analysis, supplier relationship models, supplier selection techniques, contracting techniques, performance measurement methods and relationship assessment programmes.

Following an examination of the lean approach, students are invited to look critically at the approach to see which, if any, of its prescriptions are applicable to their organisation.

The module also examines effective contracting regimes and other ideas relevant to supply chain management, including those which arise out of classical economics and transaction cost economic thinking.

Upon completion of the module participants should be able to:

Understand the concept of the supply chain;
Have knowledge of the ideas of the ’lean thinking school’, and those of its critics, including the transaction cost school;
Understand and be able to operationalise a wide range of supply chain management tools and techniques. ...''
