Supply Chain Management

The execution of a company's primary processes and its linkages with suppliers and distributors, is the central topic in this Master's programme.

Successful implementation of a business strategy requires thorough understanding of the ways in which goods and services are produced. The arrangement of resources required for the production of a company's output is the core task of operations managers. Firms develop global operational networks to meet the challenges of, and take advantage of, the opportunities presented by economic globalisation. Since purchasing, production and distribution activities can take place in various parts of the world, these activities introduce a wide variety of logistical challenges. For example, in any industries an increasing number of services and materials are obtained from outside specialist suppliers. This means the way in which businesses manage the supply of products and services to their operations becomes important. Similarly, at the demand side of the business, the way in which the distribution chain is managed contributes to an operation's ability to serve its customers.
