This module critically analyses the increasing need for effectively managing the global supply chain. This aspect of an organization is seen as a ‘strategic asset’ which can improve efficiency, customer satisfaction, and financial results. As a consequence, managing the supply chain is key in terms of how an organization performs with regard to its goals and strategy. Through a series of case study approaches, both live and historic, you will gain an appreciation of the vast nature of the supply chain, from tangible raw materials to the often intangible transfer of knowledge. You will critically analyze the infinite relationships involved in inward and outward logistics through the upstream and downstream operations. And through this gain, an appreciation of how these chains should be managed to maximize customer satisfaction and value-added, and therefore performance.
