This subject is aimed at introducing the existing and emerging technologies used in supply chains. These technologies are sometimes general-purposed (e.g., optimization software, AI) or sometimes specific to a function in supply chains (e.g., warehouse management systems). The technologies come in both soft (e.g., software packages, blockchain) and hard (e.g., 3D printer, IoT) formats. The aim of this subject is to introduce the core functionalities and applications of these technologies in end-to-end supply chains. This subject will put more emphasis on recent technologies, including IoT, blockchain and AI and will equip the learners with the necessary skills to be able to effectively adopt such technologies in supply chains.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- Analyse suitability of supply chain technologies for application
- Evaluate the costs, benefits and risks associated with introducing new technologies to supply chains
- Understand the implications of technology adoption for supply chains and buyer-supplier collaborations
- Develop a diagnostic analysis of the state of technology adoption within any given industry/business
- Apply emerging technologies for improving or reengineering supply chain operations
Generic skills
After completing this subject, students will be able to:
- Communicate effectively about key ideas and theories
- Identify and critically analyse strategic problems and decisions
- Enhance critical thinking in relation to the effectiveness of solutions
- Decompose and resolve complex problems
