DMBA6009: Managing Intelligent Supply Chains
unit information
This unit introduces students to critical decision-making processes and methods essential for designing, planning, and managing today’s supply chains. The aim is to prepare students to evaluate and make strategic, tactical and operational supply chain decisions, leveraging technology to optimise efficiency, enhance resilience, and promote sustainability. Students will engage in an interactive case study, using a blend of videos, readings, and live sessions to discuss foundational supply chain concepts such as sourcing, production, inventory management, transportation, and retail operations, with a particular focus on sustainability, resilience, and the impact of emerging technologies. Group discussions allow students to collaboratively solve problems, while the facilitator-led live workshops provide a deeper understanding of how each week's topic ties into the unit’s learning outcomes. The final session focuses on emerging trends and advancements, ensuring students are equipped with the knowledge to navigate the dynamic field of supply chain management.
