Introduction
The core objective of this module is to equip learners with the knowledge and strategies necessary for aligning incentives among supply chain partners effectively. Learners will explore various contracts and their designs as mechanisms to optimize supply chain alignment, fostering efficiency. Furthermore, participants will gain insights into supply chain performance measures, enabling them to assess performance and benchmark supply chains effectively.
This comprehensive module employs a variety of teaching methods, including lectures, case studies, and teamwork to facilitate a well-rounded learning experience.
This course is part of:
At the end of the course, learners will be able to:
- Design SC contracts that align with the incentives of supply chain partners.
- Identify and quantify the risks in forecasting uncertain demand (e.g., short lifecycle products).
- Prescribe operational changes that can reduce the cost of under- and over-stocked finished products.
To meet the requirement of SkillsFuture Singapore, assessment(s) will be conducted during every course. The assessment(s) include:
- Group Presentation
- Case Study Analysis
- Class Quiz
This programme is suitable for learners working/ intending to work in the manufacturing or logistics industry in a supply chain role at a middle management level. Prior knowledge of basic inventory models will be an advantage.
