Course evaluation last year

1. Strengths: Study visits, theory lectures, Beer game lab, writing own paper.

2. To improve: Smaller seminar groups. Guest teachers to be closer to the core of the course theory. Students must be more present.

3. Made actions:1. Strengths are kept.2. More of in-house teachers at course.3. Seminars will be made in smaller mixed

seminars, with individuals from different work groups, all to present and to answer questions on the work and work result of their work group.

Course syllabus

● Course objectivesThe course aims to give a deeper understanding and to prepare the student for research in the area of "Supply Chain Management" with focus on logistics and process development. The aim of the course is also to give a deeper discussion and knowledge of "Supply Chain Management" what it comprises and means and how the work is done.

● Workload1.5 credits correspond to approximately 40 hours ofwork, and 7.5 credits to 200 h. The individual laborinput, i.e. hours per week, vary depending on previousknowledge or other circumstances. 7

Course syllabus● Learning objectivesThe student must be able to present:

- knowledge and deeper understanding in the areas of supply chainmanagement with focus both in logistics and production fields

- a scientific article, paper, showing her knowledge and deeperunderstanding of concepts, methodologies and tools for research and/or development in the area of production and logistics

- her insight about the possibilities and limitations of modern logistics systems, their role in society and people´s responsibility for how thisis used.

- her understanding of the environmental and business aspects oftransports

8

Course syllabus● Teaching methods● The teaching will essentially include lectures, seminars and

presentations.

The course presuppose continuous participation, the students ownstudies and initiative and that all parts of the course are fulfilled within the time schedule of the course.

The participators are to read and review chosen parts of literaturecovering the subject. They will also make a literature study ofscientific articles about "Supply Chain Management" what it comprises, its methods and tools. The work will be done in groupsand will result in a PM which is presented to the other participantsat a seminar. Further theoretical and/or empirical individualstudies will result in an individual scientific article that each student will present at another seminar.

9

Examination and literatureExamination● INL1, 3 credits, Group assignment. ● INL2, 3 credits, Individual scientific paper. ● SEM1, 1.5 credits, Seminars/presentations.

Grades● For Course: 3, 4 or 5 or A-F (ECTS). Course grade is set to grade of

INL2 when all INL1, INL2 and SEM1 is approved.INL 1: Pass/failINL2: Graded, 3-5/A-F. Mark 5 if the paper is in English and

publishable, mark 4 if it builds on both theoretical and empiricalresults, mark 3 if solely theoretical

SEM1: Pass/fail. For Pass both presentations of INL1 and INL2 must be approved.

Literature● Logistics & Supply Chain Management, Patrik Jonsson, McGraw-

Hill, ISBN 9780077117382● Other literature and journal papers necessary for the assignments.

10

Attendance and language

● The course is based on self studies of the textbook and active participation in the lectures and study visits.

● Three certain advantages of the course are: • the lectures by people active in research and/or industry,

• the mutual exchange of knowledge and feedback within group work, lectures, presentations and seminars

• the study visits, were you also add reputation to your education by active participation

● Therefore we expect an attendance of at least 80% through the course.

The language in the course is English. In group work, group results and in discussions in class room please pay respect to each other and use our common language English.

Introduction to Supply Chain Management

What is a “supply chain”?

What is ”management” of the supply chain?

Why is supply chain management important?

Transformation of ”input” to “products”, from supplier to customer

The Supply Chain – a network

Suppliers Producers Distribution Customers

Supply Chain ManagementDefinitions:

“SCM, the management of upstream and downstream relationships with suppliers and customers to deliver superior customer value at less cost to the supply chain as a whole.” (Christopher, 1998)

“SCM is primarily concerned with the efficient integration of suppliers, factories, warehouses and stores so that merchandise is produced and distributed in the right quantities, to the right locations and at the right time, and so as to minimize total system cost subject to satisfying service requirements.” (Prof. David Simchi-Levi, MIT)

VSM, Value Stream Map is a visual depiction of Current State of activities clearly identifying & displaying obstructions in the Value Delivery Process. Current State Map (CSM) coupled with Future State Map (FSM) then makes a complete Lean roadmap for an Organization. VSM teaches us to see how the Value Delivery is taking place within the Organization.

Today’s Supply Chain Challenges

● Global supply chain with long lead times

● Rising and shifting customer expectations

● Increase in labor costs in developing countries

● Increase in logistics costs

● Importance of sustainability

● Unprecedented volatility (e.g. unexpected variations in rules or regulations)

Scientific paper, individual assignment“The course aims to give a deeper understanding and to prepare

the student for research in the area of Supply Chain Management”

Task: Formulate a topic/research question Gather and present informationAnalyze and draw conclusionsPresent your results

Types of studies:● Theoretical (all need a frame of reference from scientific sources such as

course book and lectures)● Empirical work (Interviews at study visits, Case study, Survey)

Make plan and start early – try to formulate an objective for thepaper as well as decide if and how you will get empirical data

Make the task your own, use only parts of suggested examples to define your own work.

25

Scientific Paper Plan

Scientific Paper Plan, including:

● Preliminary title● A short summary of your topic, problem statement. The problem

statement must be your own individual statement.● The aim and objective of the paper, research question(s) ● Frame of reference? Sources? ● What empirical data? Method? ● Paper contents?● Expected results

● One to two questions to each of the planned study visits, relevant for your paper

It must be 100% clear through the paper work what you have produced yourself and what else is quotes/references.

26

Scientific paper

Information on the web-page: ● Template● Structure guide● Referencing help● Topic suggestions (from 2013-04-09)

Lecture 3, Wed 10 April, Research method etc.

Scheduled Paper supervisions.

27

Work groups● At Lecture 1 the teachers will form the groups for the course and

appoint the group leaders. Any changes of group members to be approved by teacher, teacher may also include new students to a group. Group size is 3 (2-4) participants.

● The Group leader:

- drives the group meetings- keeps records over the active participation of each member

in the group work, problems with that to be discussed immediately in group, and if not solved discussed with the teacher at next lecture

● Each member: - must make active participation in the work and perform

his/her part of it. Groups are recommended to define needed additional internal agreements.

28

Group assignment

Assignment:As a group, discuss and answer the about 20 questions connected to topics dealt with during the course, see separate info Lecture 2.

The following must be formally referenced to in the answers to each of the questions:

● Scientific literature, e.g. the course book● Lectures including study visits

Summarize your discussions and compile your answers in a report.Use reference notation according to given information!

29

Group start up during Le 1Individually present to the group:1. SHORT background (which master program, other

bachelor background?, country, work experience, topic speciality)

2. What do I want from this course3. What gives me extra energy, how to get the best out of

cooperating with me4. Personal fun-fact (Do you collect wooden monkey

figures? Have you meet President Obama? Have you bungee jumped in the Victoria Falls?)

For the group (Group leader direct the discussion): 1. Set meeting schedule for group meetings each week2. Chose 3 interesting facts from the group to present to

the class.

15 minutes discussion and 1 min per group for reporting. 30
