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:
- Graduate Certificate in Supply Chain Engineering
- FlexiMasters in Supply Chain Engineering

Date(s): 05 to 12 May 2024
Time: 9:00am to 5:00pm (5th & 12th May)
Venue: NTU@one-north
Registration is closed.
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.
- Supply Chain Contracts I
Newsvendor model. Supply chain contracts: buyback, revenue-sharing, Blockbuster case.
- Supply Chain Contracts II
- Sport Obermeyer Case
Study the case and explore strategies for forecasting demand for short lifecycle products with variable demand, and for planning production with supply chain partners to enable supply to match demand.
- Supply Chain (SC) Performance Measurement
Supply chain contracts: quantity flexibility; performance-based contracts.
SC drivers and metrics, performance measurement.
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.
