Supply chains are no longer a subject for functional specialists; rather, their performance has a great impact on all stakeholders, and often creates competitive differentiation. Companies must develop appropriate strategies to maximise the value generated along their respective supply chains. This course extends the study of supply chain principles and management from the introductory study covered in Supply Chain Principles (OMGT1021/OMGT2114/OMGT2107 or equivalent code). The focus of the course is on the development of organisational strategy in the context of strategic operations and supply chain management. Using local and international case studies, this course explores the three critical areas of strategic operations and supply chain management - supply chain operations, integration and collaboration, and virtual supply chains.
This course provides you with a capstone experience, which will give you the opportunity to integrate, critically reflect on and consolidate what you have learnt in your program.
