Presentation

<p>This module will provide students with a detailed knowledge of retail supply chains from both a retailer and manufacturer perspective. It attempts to give students an awareness of the issues underpinning the ECR model which was developed to encourage partnerships and collaboration between these groups. Changes in the balance of power between retailers and manufacturers will be discusses along with the impact on supply chain strategies. The impact of changes in the level of competition and customer buying patterns on logistics requirements are examined before discussing the structures of alternative distribution network options. The information technology requirements and capabilities are analysed as they are vital to support initiatives such as quick response, cross-docking and e-retailing. The module shows how these systems enable manufacturers and retailers to interact and collaborate on different inventory decisions.</p>
