Logistics and Supply Chain Management

TPTM5001

Logistics and supply chain management are foundation blocks of any successful business. Unless an organisation can manage and coordinate the movement of materials, information and cash through its business, and those of partner organisations, it is unlikely to outperform its competitors. Furthermore organisations rarely compete as fully integrated organisations; typically they are part of increasingly interdependent networks. The operational disciplines of the successful organisation are responsible for developing and managing its response to market opportunities, and supply chain management is the key to a successful response. This unit provides the foundation for understanding of these two important concepts of logistics and supply chain management. It offers a sound grounding in the terms, concepts, techniques and principles that underlie logistics and supply chain management, exploring both concepts and demonstrating how together they contribute towards a strategically effective and operationally efficient organisation. This is the foundation unit of study for all logistics and supply chain management programs and specialisations.
