Synopsis

The field of supply chain management has arisen as firms try to become more efficient. Integrating the functions of purchasing, manufacturing and distribution is becoming recognised as a core competitive strategy. This goes beyond the concept of integrated logistics, and involves all the functions within an organisation. This course will introduce the thinking and concepts involved in the evolution of supply chain management, and consider impact of such developments on an organisation, in terms of both functional and performance aspects.
