About the course
Running an effective supply chain can mean the difference between make or break for many organisations. Upskilling your own or your team’s competency to optimise your supply chain is an increasingly recognised way of adding value to your organisation. This will help you to improve efficiencies and reduce costs.
This programme is for people currently working in or aspiring to work in roles that cover supply chain disciplines (including planning, sourcing materials, manufacturing, logistics, and returns). It is based on real-world examples from the industry.
Students will gain a broad knowledge of supply chain concepts, linkages, and practices. They will also gain an understanding of demand management, manufacturing planning and control, inventory management, procurement and distribution, and relevant legislation.
Delivered part-time, classes typically run between 4pm-7pm (this is except for the first class in each module that runs from 3pm-7pm). There is a tutor present throughout to guide students through the programme. It has been developed to cater to those in the workforce, and the class times are intended to fit around work and life commitments as best as possible.
