Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a critical area of competitive advantage for organisations.SCM involves managing the flow of products and services, financial and information from the suppliers through value adding intermediaries to the customer's customer. It includes managing technical processes both within the firm between functions such as procurement, manufacturing and marketing, and between organisations such as manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers. Therefore, an understanding of people and relationships is an essential skill in managing these relationships.

This programme provides students with an opportunity to develop skills and knowledge to lead as global managers of people, projects and sustainable systems through supply chain management and information technology. It integrates theory with practical work applications, and emphasises leadership, service, collaborative work, virtual team processes and internet-based communication.

It involves:

• logistics performance measures and benchmarking procedures
• world-class processes for customer service and order processing
• inventory planning and management
• supply chain integration
• transportation, distribution and warehousing
• logistics organisation design alternatives
