Master Of Engineering Management

This subject provides students with an understanding of the concepts and approaches used in the management of supply chains, including supply chain decision phases, achieving strategic fit, supply chain drivers and metrics, designing the supply chain network, planning and coordinating demand and supply, and planning and managing inventories in engineering projects. Students are also introduced to factors affecting the optimal level of product availability, transportation, and cross-functional drivers in a supply chain, including sustainability. Working on examples and weekly class discussions, students have the opportunity to apply their knowledge to several case studies. Assessment tasks also provide students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and develop their communication skills, where they analyse some cases and develop frameworks for the integration of supply chain processes. Individual students also assess their own competence and skills relevant to Supply Chain Management using their Portfolio and by setting personal learning goals. Individual students set up a program-based professional portfolio, which is to track and facilitate professional learning and development across all subjects of the MEM program. This is done by self-assessing their competencies at the start of each subject/semester, and setting personal learning goals to work on the development of their skills and competencies, and to be prepared for the real world of work after graduation.
