| Course contents : | Environmental and sustainability strategy impact companies financial performance, business and economic value.
Many companies realize that customers and other stakeholders do not distinguish between a company and its suppliers technical and managerial measures.
The course investigates the implications of sustainable development concerns and regulations on the supply chain mechanisms (design, production, transportation, reverse logistics, closed) and economical performance.
Just as the environmental footprint of a product is analyzed by considering its full life cycle (manufacture, use, recycling or dismantling), we consider closed-loop supply chains, where the design, manufacture and use of products are complemented by the steps of collection, selection, recycling or reprocessing. |
|
| Course objective : | C1. Explore the supply chain concepts in the sutanaible development context.
C1/P2. Understand and use quantitative models that help solving closed-loop supply chain issues that arise in product design, manufacturing, transportation, reverse logistics, recycling etc.
P2. Reach a basic knowledge of IT software used to improve the sustainibility performance of companies and supply chains, with a special focus on ERP systems as SAP.
C4. Develop the ability to describe, analyze and comment innovative business models related to eco(nomic)-eco(logic) closed-loop supply chains, to the coordination of stakeholders and log-term perspective of sustainable supply chains. |
