SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT


Semester 1, 2011

Module Co-ordinator: Dr Antony Potter

Introduction to Supply Chain Management


Supply chain management is a relatively new area of study in the management discipline. Christopher (2005:17) defines the supply chain as the network of organisations that are involved in the different processes and activities that produce value in the form of products and services in the hands of the ultimate consumer. Thus, supply chain management is concerned with the total flow of goods and services: from original inputs to final consumption. In particular, supply chain management highlights the importance of total integration, linkage, and coordination of all entities involved in moving a product or service downstream to the final user. Supply chain management advocates a co-operative approach with channel partners. The recognition of supply chains and networks as vital parts of commercial survival has led to a greatly increased interest in supply management amongst both academics and practitioners. When managed strategically, supply relationships can be a critical source of value and innovation.

Module Aim
The focus of the module is on enhancing students understanding of the theory and practice of supply chain management within a variety of industries and management scenarios. On completion of the module students will have gained an understanding of the decisions that face supply chain managers in a complex and dynamic environment and the theories, concepts and practices that can be used to inform these decisions.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of the module students will: Understand the nature, scope and role of supply chain management in (and between) organisations. Be able to identify and discuss the key issues that face supply chain managers as they make decisions. Be able to understand and discuss the key concepts and theories involved in supply chain management. Understand the importance of co-operative practices in supply chain activities and ways in which such practices may be achieved. Have identified, reviewed and evaluated a specific topic on a contemporary supply chain management related issue. The module is also designed so that students may enhance/develop the following skills and/or competencies (mainly through tutorial activities): Team-working: ability to work in groups to discuss key concepts, provide solutions and develop key business-related interpersonal skills. Analytical: ability to synthesise material and provide critical commentary. Research skills: ability to formulate research questions, implement strategies for data gathering and present key findings. Presentation and communication skills: written, oral as well as developing confidence in public speaking and addressing peers.

About the Lecturer.


Dr Antony Potter, BSc(Hons), PhD (Sheffield), Dr Potter is a Lecturer in Operations and Supply Chain Management at Queens University Management School, Queens University Belfast. He graduated with a first class honours degree in Economics and Geography in 2002 from Kingston University. Upon completion of his undergraduate degree, he began work on a PhD funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), a Collaborative Award in Science and Engineering (CASE Award), and the European Commission (EC). He received his PhD in 2006 for his work examining how knowledge transfers along the supply chain help to upgrade the performance of firms, clusters, and regions. While completing his PhD, Antony was also employed at the European Commission (EC) as an economics researcher and policy analyst focusing on supply chain management and the manufacturing industry. Following this, he was a Research Fellow in Operations Management at Queens University Management School working with Dr Benn Lawson (now Senior Lecturer in Operations Management at Judge Business School, University of Cambridge) on an research grant investigating supplier involvement in new product development (funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, EPSRC). I have recently completed a research grant investigating supply chain risk, product recalls, and sustainable supply chain management within the agri-food industry. This research project forms part of the ASSET Research Centre at Queens University Belfast. My research interests cover five main areas: (i) supply chain risk management, (ii) sustainable supply chain management, (iii) supplier involvement in new product development, (iv) knowledge transfer along the supply chain, and (v) the evolution of agglomerations and networks. My published articles have appeared in the Journal of Product Innovation Management, International Journal of Operations and Production Management and the Journal of Economic Geography.

Contact details
My contact details are: Room: Room 01-021, Queens University Management School, Riddel Hall, 02890 97 45 07 a.potter@qub.ac.uk Wednesdays: 10am to 12 midday (or by appointment)

Teaching Format
Lecture hours: Tutorial hours: Tuesday 10am to 12 midday (Location: PFC/02/018) Tutorial Group 1: Thursday 1pm-2pm in PFC/03/006A Tutorial Group 2: Thursday 3pm-4pm in PFC/02/017 Tutorial Group 3: Thursday 4pm-5pm in PFC/02/017

Classes will be split between a lecture session and a tutorial case study session. Usually, the Tuesday lecture will introduce new concepts and materials, with the class on the Thursday being the tutorial case study session. Students will be assigned to one tutorial group shortly after lecture 1 of the module.

PowerPoint slides will also be posted on Queens Online as the semester progresses. These notes are intended to help you when you are reviewing the material that has been covered in class they are not intended to be a substitute for attending class!

Tutorials
A successful tutorial occurs when (a) all parties are prepared and (b) when there is interaction between the parties. It is therefore imperative that students PREPARE for tutorial tasks and are willing to discuss and share their ideas / viewpoints. The tutorials consist of a small group of people that facilitates small-group interaction. Tutorials provide you with an opportunity to ask questions and work with other students to cement your knowledge of the subject. Attendance is compulsory and will be monitored. It is essential that students are prepared for their tutorials. The role of the tutor is to facilitate learning via group discussion and peer-to-peer interaction. Tutorials are designed to be interactive and will involve individuals and/or groups having to present their views to others in the same session. If you are unclear about certain issues or do not understand certain theories or concepts please do not be afraid to ask. Details of the tutorial program will be provided during lecture 1 of the module, with the relevant tutorial case studies accessible via Queens Online. Each student is expected to attend one weekly tutorial. The purpose of tutorials is to provide students with examples of concepts in use and to give students the opportunity to develop their own applied skills. The tutorials WILL require the students to have completed the required readings and to present their ideas and answer to the question set. The tutorial will allow students to also discuss topics raised in lectures, through the use of discussion questions, videos, exercises and case study problems. Expect these sessions to be very interactive. All tutorials are discussion based, and students are required to contribute to the discussion generated within each tutorial. Attendance records will be maintained. If you miss more than two tutorials, you will be invited to discuss this with the lecturer and may at his discretion be placed on the student at risk file. Remember, tutorials are there for your benefit!

Attendance Policy
Attendance is compulsory. University regulations state that, even if you achieve a pass mark for a module based on written work, but have not achieved a satisfactory attendance record, then you cannot pass the module. Your attendance will be recorded. If an individual misses more than three lectures or one tutorial, his/her absence will be noted in the module coordinators end of semester report which is presented at the Schools examination boards. This may have implications for your final mark. If you are unable to attend class due to extenuating circumstances it is your responsibility to let me know.

QOL / QSIS
The lecturer will use QOL/QSIS to post SUMMARY lecture slides and tutorial case studies. The lecturer will also use QOL/QSIS to communicate with the class so it is important that students check QOL/QSIS and their UNIVERSITY EMAIL accounts on a regular basis.

Core Texts
The core text for the module is: Cousins, P., Lamming, R., Lawson, B. and Squire, B. (2008) Strategic Supply Management: Principles, Theories and Practice, Prentice Hall / Financial Times, UK.

It is highly recommended that students also purchase a copy of: Lysons, K. and Farrington, B. (2006) Purchasing and Supply Chain Management 7th Edition, Prentice Hall / Financial Times, UK.

Both texts are available for purchase in the University Book Shop. Students should also check online book retailers and/or price comparison sites for the best deals on these books. The texts will also be available in the main library on a short-term loan basis.

Reading List
Students are reminded that specified readings from the recommended textbooks must be supplemented with additional readings provided at the end of each lecture theme. Students are strongly encouraged to source additional academic articles from the electronic databases available online on issues raised throughout the lecture themes for independent study and revision purposes. (e.g. ABI Inform, Business Source Premier, Emerald and Science Direct). Students might also find Google Scholar useful for finding and retrieving key articles.
