Summary Supply Chain Management (IBA year 2, block 7 ENG) – Paper only

Everything you need to pass your exam

The Supply Chain Management course deals with the complete logistics chain that a company has to deal with. Look at Starbucks. How do they ensure that the coffee beans in Colombia are processed into coffee that is available all over the world and tastes the same? Another example, do you have any idea why Lidl has been the best supermarket for fruit and vegetables for years? This is due to their distribution strategy, which is through the use of cross-docking. We will discuss exactly how this works in this course. We will also look at how we can use IT in our supply chain. For example, if you buy a green shirt from Benetton, their information system will tell the factory in China to produce one additional green shirt. And of course the stock models will be discussed again, for which you have already laid a foundation in the Primary Processes course. In short, Supply Chain Management is a broad field that every company deals with on a daily basis.

In this summary we will explain the course in a very structured and vivid way, while making use of many examples. Also, the summary is filled with exercises, so you can practice a lot with the content right after you’ve learned it!
