Course contents :
|
| Environmental and sustainability strategies impact the financial performance of companies, their business and their economic value.
The course investigates the implications of sustainable development - environmental, social and economical concerns - on supply chain mechanisms : product design, production process, transportation, production facilities design and location, relations with 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 management of products end-of-life, collection, selection, recycling and reprocessing. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| C1. Explore sustainable development concepts applied to supply chain management.
C1/P2. Understand and use quantitative models that help solving closed-loop supply chain issues arising in product design, manufacturing, transportation, reverse logistics, recycling etc.
C4. Develop the ability to describe, analyze and comment business models, partners interactions and long-term strategy of sustainable supply chains. |
