Strategic Supply Chain

This subject provides students with a good understanding of individual sectors in the maritime industry. It introduces the maritime industry’s history, maritime geography and the concept of maritime transport in facilitating international trade. This subject covers various maritime sectors such as shipping, shipbuilding, repairs and maintenance, ports, offshore energy, maritime tourism, maritime governance and defence and Law enforcement. Finally, key contemporary issues related to the maritime industry are addressed.

In this subject you will explore the role of warehousing in a supply chain. The subject covers how a warehouse provides data on inventory levels throughout the supply chain as well as its role in the preparation and distribution of goods. The subject will focus on how a well-run warehouse can help an organisation to maintain product schedules and avoid supply issues. The subject also covers how distribution channels facilitate the timely delivery of raw materials/inventory to customers.

Examine the roles distribution and warehousing play in a supply chain.
Register the facets that go into warehouse management, from small material handling to administration. Highlight technology's role in maintaining distribution channels.

Warehouse and Distribution Channels

This subject provides an introduction to quantitative methods that can be used in industry. You will acquire advanced spreadsheet and database modelling skills. The subject will introduce static and dynamic models of supply chains and logistics systems. Specifically it will apply transport and transhipment models to optimise supply chains.
The subject will enhance your appreciation of logistics and the usefulness of mathematical and statistical models in solving logistics problems. You will learn to think systematically about the fundamental processes involved and to evaluate the performance of a supply chain as a system. You will also develop your critical thinking skills to the point where you are able to deliberate on contemporary issues in supply chain management.

Optimise logistics and distribution practices using state-of-the-art practices. 
Advance your spreadsheet and database modelling skills. Simulate real supply chain challenges. Wield mathematical and statistical models to work out logistics issues.

Supply Chain Analytics

Technology-enabled supply chains are becoming increasingly effective, efficient, and transparent. In the future scenario of smart supply chains, a supply chain in the real world will be simulated by its digital twin deployed in a cloud computing platform. Real-time data in factories, warehouses, and transport vehicles will be collected and processed by Internet of Things (IOT) devices, and then sent to the supply chain’s digital twin. The data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) models behind the digital twin will analyse the data, simulate the supply chain processes in the real word, and help us to make informed decisions for supply chain management, such as inventory control and redeployment for supply chain disruptions, dynamic management of suppliers, and fast responses to customers’ complaints. In this subject you will learn how to model and design smart supply chains to enable data driven decision making, optimisation of operations, and adaptation to changing market conditions. Using authentic case studies and practical digital tools, you will develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills required to identify problems in the smart supply chains and develop practical solutions to address these problems.

Supply Chain Analytics And Digitalisation

This course will provide students with a detailed understanding of the nature, process, coordination and management of business logistics in achieving sustainable business outcomes. Current issues considered include: warehousing and packaging, transport and its management, supply network designing for material/service/information flows; performance measurement and the engagement with external logistics service providers, logistics in a carbon constrained environment; scheduling in transport and service industries, and redesigning material and service flows in supply chains/networks. Students should not enrol in this subject if they have completed: 2054MGT Business Logistics and 2154IBA International Business Logistics

International Business Logistics

The aim of this subject is to examine the processes, functions and strategies required by organisations to acquire goods, services and equipment from other organisations. The subject covers three broad dimensions of the procurement function within organisations. Firstly, the subject familiarises you with the procurement processes employed by organisations in both the public and private sectors. Secondly, the subject discusses strategic decision-making in a range of procurement-related issues that have a direct impact on how an organisation operates. Thirdly, the subject examines the supplier-related tasks of purchasing professionals, including supplier selection and management.

This subject will provide you with an understanding of how organisations manage the supply chain and logistics processes associated with manufactured and purchased goods, ensuring the successful flow of materials between organisations and external suppliers. The logistics aspects and methodologies you will be exposed to include manufacturing demand planning, inventory and stock control, packaging, warehousing, distribution networks, transportation, value chains and managing supplier relationships. You will also consider how current and future use of technologies and automated processes in the logistics environment can be utilised to achieve logistics improvements for the organisation. In conjunction with the discipline theory, this subject builds on concepts of learning through practice in Year 1 of study by introducing you to more complex learning experiences. You will be introduced to:- discipline-based skills and knowledge in dynamic practice situations. This will include authentic and purposeful, industry-related experiences - concepts of managing effective relationships and communicating with others - the development and use of adaptive leadership skills and how these skills relate to innovative and entrepreneurial practice- the nature of responsible, accountable and reflective workplace skills, and creative and critical thinking relevant to para-professional practice.You will exercise self-awareness, initiative and judgement to manage yourself and professional relationships effectively. The application of tacit knowledge and capabilities will be reflected in a Practice Manual.

Trace the flow of goods from warehouse to destination. You’ll explore business networks and technologies that move materials from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Topics include inventory, warehousing, packaging, and more.

This subject provides an opportunity to investigate contemporary topics of interest in global logistics and maritime management. Students are required to undertake research and present findings on specific topics relevant to management in the maritime and logistics sector. This subject builds students’ skills of surveying literature and research communication. It firstly requires students to review and evaluate the literature in logistics and maritime management relevant to their research topic to understand what is already researched and to justify their research questions and methods. Secondly, students are required to expose to up to date research presentations by attending research seminars hosted by AMC and other faculties within the University. Seminars related to their discipline areas should be prioritised. Students are able to develop their research communication skills by engaging with and evaluating those research presentations that will help the presentation of research proposal for their dissertation project. This subject paves the way for students to work on Honours dissertation subjects (TAS-JNB418, TAS-JNB419, TAS-JNB420 and TAS-JNB421) of Bachelor of Global Logistics and Maritime Management with Honours
