PME – Supply Chain Management: Outline of Module

Aims/objectives of module:-
To understand in the context of projects and project-driven enterprises:

• The importance of the study of supply chain management (SCM) to the future viability of construction
• The concepts associated with SCM as a discipline and how the SCM philosophy differs in an important sense from project management
• The benefits flowing from the use of SCM or the adoption of a SCM philosophy in the management of projects and programmes
• The ways in which SCM can be applied in the context of the role of the project manager
• The views of the detractors and an understanding of how their theoretical position might help in more effective use of SCM in practice

Learning outcomes:-
After taking this module the student should be able to:-

• Apply SCM theory to a project environment
• Use SCM to provide improved value to client and stakeholders
• To use an improved knowledge of the supply chain to understand the logistics associated with project and programme activities and their implications for carbon emissions
• Use SCM to improve the management and transfer of risk
• To provide higher levels of knowledge management and innovation through the identification, analysis and management of the supply chain

TERM PAPER

Task: Fragmentation and adversarial relationships are a feature of construction and engineering projects around the world. Explain how the principles of supply chain management might be applied to help alleviate these problems.

Support your case with reference to published material.  Include case studies if you wish.

You might like to start your readings by looking at Chapter 2 of Pryke (2009), which is Item No. 24 on the reading list above.

Dates:  Assignment issued Tuesday 20^th February 2018.  Hand-in due Tuesday 8^th May 2018

Supplemental Information: For marking scheme, word count and referencing requirements please refer to the Course Notes.  Your role in dealing with this assignment is to identify relevant published material and discuss and analyse this material, making a case in response the question set. Some of the material published may contain case study material which you may wish to refer to also.  Case study material might be useful but do not construct your discussion around the case study material solely – use it to illustrate the conceptual points that you derive from the literature.

A good academic essay will always cite recent journal articles in addition to some key book-based references.  Use Google Scholar but avoid web-based material unless you are certain of the quality of the source.
