This module aims to develop a fundamental understanding of the key aspects and principles of logistics and supply chain management.  Students will develop their knowledge, understanding and skills through structured classroom learning, directed self-study and through a work-based project focused on the supply chain of their own organisation. 
Students will agree work-based learning objectives and a clear learning plan that will enable them to demonstrate attainment of the outcomes of this module and the application of learning in the workplace.  The learning plan will incorporate a project linked to the operation, performance or development of the employer organisation’s supply chain, with terms of reference agreed by the student, the employer and the university.  The learning plan will also support the personal and professional development of the student (building on an initial audit) with the learning plan used to inform summative assessment.
