You will acquire an understanding of the core concepts, theories, processes, strategies and business models for managing global supply chains. You will learn how to view the supply chain as a whole, how to integrate and synchronise intra- and inter-organisational processes, and how to create customer value. Through this you will be able to influence decisions on both the operational and strategic levels in a large set of roles in modern business management. By taking a “supply chain” rather than “firm” perspective, the SCM programme enables future managers to consider the consequences of decision making, from raw material extraction, production, wholesale, retailing to final consumption. Companies like Apple, Procter & Gamble, Amazon, Novo Nordisk, Lego, and Maersk have built their business models on this notion. Leading companies have increasingly focused on their core activities and outsourced non-core activities to contract manufacturers or other types of suppliers. They have become experts, internally by tearing down the functional silos that separated finance, procurement, production, marketing, logistics and sales, and externally by orchestrating end-to-end value creation. This is what supply chain management is about.
