Course Objective: The main goal of the course is to acquire the ability to create an effective value chain (the ability to work and manage a team in the process of design/redesign structure of modern sustainable supply chain in Industry 4.0 environment), functioning in a sustainable environment with the use of intelligent and flexible production technologies and modern communication as part of the interaction network between its participants.
Learning Outcomes: The students on the completion of this course would be able to:
-
- apply the knowledge and competences related to Industrial Engineering in order to improve the supply chain functions
- indicate entrepreneurial activities and implement solutions in the field of Industrial Engineering to improve SSCM
- redesign the supply chain in accordance to the requirements of the Industry 4.0
- analyze and select scientific solutions in the field of Industrial Engineering in building a network of connections in SSCM
- manage a group (interdisciplinary, intercultural and distributed) in order to identify and evaluate trans strategies for the supply chain network functioning in a sustainable development economy
Prerequisite: Basic knowledge in the field: engineering sciences, logistics science including the supply chain and management sciences

Teaching and Learning Methods:
The course is focused on personal activity and group work. The workshop is a project classes and assignments. The project task concerns work in a group (about 10 people), during which each participant will actively use their own knowledge to write a joint project work. The project group will be creating the supply chain in the industry chosen by the group. Presentation the project, discussion and activity at workshop will allow to implement the assumed learning outcomes for the course.
The teaching is done via lectures by the instructor using online mode. Online Workshop sessions are conducted on the use of tools in each subject. The learning methods include group discussion, individual assignment and group project.
Time Distribution and Study Load:
Lectures: 15 hours
Workshop: 30 hours
Self-study: 75 hours
Evaluation Scheme: The final grade will be computed according to the following weight distribution: Individual reflections (20%); Class discussions (10%); Project outcome (30%); Powerful Public Speaking (20%) and Personal Development (20%)
An “A” would be awarded if a student can demonstrate the use of transferred and self-acquired knowledge in creating a sustainable supply chain.
A “B” would be awarded if a student can show the use of transferred and self-acquired knowledge in the field of sustainable supply chain management.
A “C” would be given if a student can show the use of the knowledge provided in the field of sustainable supply chain management.
A “D” would be given if a student shows the inability to use the transferred knowledge in the field of sustainable supply chain management.
