Course contents :
|
| Environmental and sustainability strategy impacts the financial performance of companies, their business and their economic value.
The course investigates the implications of sustainable development and environmental concerns on supply chain mechanisms (choices of design principles, production, transportation, suppliers,...
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 product life are complemented by the steps of collect, selection, recycling and reprocessing. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| 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.
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. |
