This module introduces the basics of supply chain management. It will present the role of  logistics and supply chain within various business contexts and enable students to identify and analyse the complexities and uncertainties affecting global supply chains. The module will discuss the emerging trends and concepts in logistics and supply chain management. The role of purchasing has become a key driver for enabling the smooth flow of goods as well as achieving optimum cost whilst meeting the customer requirements. The module will examine also the different approaches to managing the purchasing function, which can contribute to efficient and effective management of the organisation&#39;s operations. In addition, an appraisal of why contracting out elements of the supply chain has taken place in many types of business will be undertaken. Case studies will be incorporated into the teaching to demonstrate how companies manage their purchasing, procurement and global supply chains.
