Course Overview

Supply chain management is a critical business competency. It encompasses procurement of materials, processing and distribution of products and services to customers.

In many companies, 80% or more of their turnover is spent outside the organisation. This course helps you become effective in managing this. It’s designed for those who will work within supply chain management. It’s also suitable for anyone with a background in support functions such as sales, maintenance, finance and marketing.

This course will cover the latest logistics requirements, for example:

• The ability of logistics managers to enhance business opportunities through circular economy approaches and digital manufacturing.

• The rise of sales through e-commerce also requires accurate demand and supply forecasts from the logistics area.

This course is delivered in partnership with the Department of Design, Manufacturing & Engineering Management, and the Department of Management Science—this collaboration between engineering and business benefits from combining technical and organisational expertise. Find out more about the award-winning Strathclyde Business School.
