This unit focuses on the theory behind, and application of, business operations processes and supply chain management. Covering day-to-day business processes, the unit will examine how these areas can be analysed and improved on through the application of strategies, concepts and models. Students will be required to research current thought on these topics and use a combination of research and their own business knowledge to analyse case studies and undertake a business processes-based examination of a local business. Several forecasting and optimisation methods are presented to help with decisions in the areas of layouts and flows, sourcing, capacity and purchasing with an examination of the major concerns of supply chain management.
