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.
