1          What this Module is About

 

1.1        Introduction from the Module Leader

 

This module is designed to introduce the student to a range of Green Supply Chain issues and the associated management techniques.

 

The module provides a comprehensive approach to managing supply chain resources and associated principles.

 

In short, it enables students to develop critical thinking and decision making for green supply chain aspects of an enterprise and furthermore, students will develop an appreciation of strategies for planning and co-ordination in a supply chain and enable a reduction in their overall carbon footprint. The module has changed with enhanced activities to build knowledge using quizzes, practical application using case studies and simulations using collaborations to understand real word supply chains.
