Hide-Supply-chain enterprises operate in a highly dynamic business environment characterised by three Cs – change in globalisation such as outsourcing, change in product possibilities and expectations such as product-service bundling, and change in ways of integrating businesses such as the emergence of enterprise networks. This BSc programme is delivered via a combination of distance and online resources, on-campus tutorials and practical sessions, and company-based projects.
This programme’s content aligns with the framework of the Supply-Chain Council’s Supply Chain Operations Reference model (SCOR). While in the form of a template, this model places operations planning and control centrally in a way that prior implicit framings did not and so provides a basis for the strongly conceptual navigations that supply-chain managers face in their everyday lives. The programme combines strong human factor, cause-effect modelling, and process improvement orientations to leverage innovative opportunities.
To specifically target those currently employed, or seeking employment, in a variety of technology rich industries, such as Pharmaceutical, Medical Devices, Biotechnology and Manufacturing, who require a degree qualification and are seeking the same for professional advancement.
The terminal award on this programme is a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Supply Chain Management NFQ Level 8.
The BSc programme will allow entry into year 2, 3 or 4 of the programme onto the BSc route provided applicants meet the entry criteria specified.
The programme is designed as a continuous professional development programme and will give exempted credits for the BSc route into the year of study to successful applicants who meet the specified entry requirements and can demonstrate that they have attained the learning outcomes of the exempted years.
There will be an exit point at the end of year 2 and year 3 for those on the BSc route who successfully complete the years study and are eligible to progress but who do not wish to do so.
After completing this programme, students should be able to:
• Identify the fundamental theories and concepts and methods that inform supply chain management within a variety of organisational settings and in a variety of disciplines.
• Demonstrate detailed knowledge and understanding of specialised areas pertaining to different supply chain functions.
• Display specialised technical, analytical and creative skills which are fundamental to problem solving and decision making.
• Apply knowledge in a variety of enterprise settings.
