The management challenges presented by each of these activities will be reviewed and students will be given a brief introduction to the analytical tools used to optimize them. Finally, the course addresses four 'cross-cutting' themes which should synthesis material introduced in the earlier parts and examine the wider impact of logistics / supply chain management on the economy, the environment and social well-being. It will conclude with a thought-provoking session discussing longer term forecasts of the development of logistics and supply chains.
