Integrated Supply Chain Logistics

This module is built around five scenario areas: procurement and supply management, manufacturing operations, transportation and logistics flow, global network design, and retail and distribution strategy. 

You will work through exercises that reflect how supply chains function under real constraints - time pressure, trade-offs, and competing priorities. Each exercise requires you to align decisions across functions, not just optimise within one.

What you'll gain

Procurement judgment
Designing procurement cycles for real situations at varying scales, with constraints you don't control.

Mapping supply chain complexity
Tracing a product from ultimate source to end consumer, accounting for every hand it passes through and every decision point along the way.

Systems-thinking expertise
Running a production environment end-to-end — from market positioning and sourcing through to execution and customer experience.

Logistics flow analysis
Following product movement through a complex distribution system and understanding what drives delay, cost, and failure at each stage.

Distribution and e-commerce strategy
Redesigning a supply chain to support a new channel — aligning procurement, inventory, fulfilment, and last-mile delivery around a different commercial model.

Leadership in supply chain contexts Defining your own decision-making profile against the demands of dynamic, global supply chain environments.
