Welcome to the innovative Undergraduate Programme in Supply Chain Planning, Modelling, and Analytics! This dynamic program is designed to equip aspiring supply chain professionals with the essential knowledge and skills to thrive in today's rapidly evolving global marketplace. Through a blend of theoretical foundations, practical applications, and cutting-edge analytics, participants will embark on a transformative journey to optimize supply chain performance and drive organizational success.
The program begins with a foundational exploration of "Supply Chain Fundamentals," where participants will gain insights into the key principles, concepts, and dynamics that shape modern supply chains. From procurement to distribution, participants will develop a holistic understanding of the end-to-end supply chain process, laying the groundwork for advanced study in subsequent modules.
Building upon this foundation, participants will delve into "Supply Chain Planning and Optimization," a module focused on developing strategies to effectively plan and optimize supply chain operations. Participants will explore techniques for demand forecasting, inventory management, production planning, and distribution optimization, learning how to balance competing priorities and constraints to achieve operational excellence.
In the module "Supply Chain Modelling and Simulation," participants will learn how to use advanced modelling and simulation techniques to analyze and optimize supply chain performance. Through hands-on exercises and case studies, participants will gain practical experience in building and analyzing supply chain models, identifying bottlenecks, and evaluating alternative scenarios to improve efficiency and resilience.
The program's interdisciplinary approach is exemplified in the module titled "Analytics and Decision Support Systems," where participants will explore the role of data analytics and decision support systems in supply chain management. Participants will learn how to leverage data-driven insights to make informed decisions, optimize processes, and drive continuous improvement in supply chain performance.
As the program progresses, participants will engage with "Sustainability and Risk Management in Supply Chains," a module that explores the importance of sustainability and risk management in supply chain operations. Participants will learn how to identify and mitigate supply chain risks, enhance sustainability practices, and build resilience in the face of disruptions and uncertainties.
In the module "Supply Chain Innovation and Technology," participants will explore emerging trends and technologies shaping the future of supply chain management. From blockchain to artificial intelligence, participants will learn how to harness the power of innovation and technology to drive efficiency, agility, and competitiveness in supply chain operations.
The program culminates with a capstone project, where participants will have the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge and skills in a real-world setting. Guided by experienced faculty mentors, participants will tackle a supply chain challenge faced by a real organization, developing and implementing a comprehensive solution that demonstrates their readiness to make a meaningful impact in the field of supply chain management.
Join us on this transformative journey as we explore the critical role of supply chain planning, modelling, and analytics in driving organizational success and competitive advantage. Embark on your path to becoming a supply chain leader and innovator today!
