Scope:

The student is required to discuss several strategies from a global perspective in the context of supply chain management. The report also affords structured views surrounding the SCOR Models along with an investigation of several financial and operational strategies, many of which are related to the supply chain’s global outlook.

The student is given a   case scenario at the start and will develop strategies and arguments with a focus on this case.  However, at the end, the student will be asked to research an enterprise, in the same sector, discussing their experiences with the application of the SCOR & CPFR models while integrating into ERP platforms. This should help students develop relevant academic thinking & literary arguments surrounding Advance scheduling schemes and forecasting tools.

All questions would require the student to present some theoretical context, with reference to the case scenario.  Other questions may require a more integrated view of both theory & practice to share a combined reference on issues surrounding the chosen organization.
