1 MODULE DESCRIPTOR TITLE Logistics and Enterprise Information Systems SI MODULE CODE S CREDITS 15 LEVEL 7 JACS CODE H700, I200 SUBJECT GROUP Automation & Operations Engineering DEPARTMENT Engineering and mathematics MODULE LEADER Prof Sameh Saad MODULE STUDY HOURS (based on 10 hours per credit)* Scheduled Learning and Teaching Activities Placement (if applicable) Independent Guided Study *to be used for Key Information Sets - see Module Descriptor guidance notes MODULE AIM Total Number of Study Hours This module aims to extend students' knowledge of logistics operations within the supply chain and its key components and contribution to competitiveness and customer service and to critically evaluate logistics performance in order to manage for better value creation with the help of the latest enterprise information systems such as SAP. MODULE LEARNING OUTCOMES (up to 4 LOs max) By engaging successfully with this module a student will be able to: 1. Analyse supply chain performance; 2. Design logistics networks including transportation modes; 3. Analyse advanced forecasting techniques in the planning and control of logistics networks and 4. Critically appraise the role and type of information systems in a logistics network. INDICATIVE CONTENT Logistics and supply chain Definitions, structure, material flow, information flow and funds flow. The supply chain and the demand chain, competing through logistics. Competitive criteria in the market place. Supply chain strategies. Aligning capabilities across the supply chain. Design the logistics network and how it works Classification of location problems Different type of location models Order processing Inventory management Freight transportation Logistics managerial issues Logistics decisions Setting the logistics priorities

2 Logistics forecasting techniques Qualitative and quantitative methods Advanced forecasting methods Logistics Information system Functions of a logistics information system within an ERP SAP Logistics concepts: Materials Management Data and Transactions Production Planning and Control Transactions Sales and Distribution Transactions and Reports Managing the lead time The role of time in competitive advantage. Product: Demand ratios and the lead time gap. Time-based mapping. Implementing time-based practices across the chain and through transportation. The agile supply chain The dimensions of the agile supply chain. Addressing the challenges of market turbulence and rapid response. LEARNING, TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT - STRATEGY AND METHODS Students will be supported in their learning, to achieve the above outcomes, in the following ways: Student will develop and enhance their knowledge, understanding and relevant skills through a series of lecturers, tutorials/seminars/laboratories, and through participation within practical sessions. Topics will be introduced in lectures (12 hrs), and then developed in tutorials/laboratories (24 hrs). In addition to handouts and other materials, a recommended reading list is provided to help students to undertake self-directed study. The learning process will be supported by the use of Blackboard, appropriate software packages and the facilities of the Learning Centre. The module will be assessed 50% by examination and 50% by course work. It is expected that the contents of written assignments should have a logical and coherent structure such as: Introduction Specification Analysis and recommendations Supporting information/justifications Discussion/conclusions Source of data/information Whereas the coursework allows time for students to reflect upon their learning and undertake self-study to further their learning, the examination provides the opportunity for students to carry out independent work on the principles and concepts of the subject under controlled and time-constrained conditions. ASSESSMENT TASK INFORMATION

3 Task No.* Short Description of Task SI Code EX/CW/PR Task Weighting % Word Count or Exam Duration** In-module retrieval available 1 Coursework CW 50% Exam EX 50% 2 hours NB to achieve a pass in this module students must achieve a minimum of 40% in every assessment task. *Assessment task limit of a max of two tasks per 20 credits, and a max of three tasks for a module larger than 20 credits ** Timetabled examinations - duration must be whole numbers of one, two or three hours and ten minutes of reading time will be added on to this as standard. FEEDBACK Students will receive feedback on their performance in the following ways Group feedback is typically provided during the session following submission of an assignment, with individual feedback provided within three weeks of submission. 1. Collective coursework feedback is provided during the tutorial following the submission of an assignment. This verbal feedback is typically drawn from a sample of ten or so submissions. It is used to provide prompt timely feedback enabling each student to reflect upon what they submitted and not make the same mistake on subsequent assignments (e.g. referencing) and whether the omissions they made were common across the cohort. 2. Student specific feedback is also provided during the tutorials. Assignments are typically returned via blackboard, ensuring rapid and easy access to both marks and feedback, ensuring that they understand the main areas which were good and what they could have done better.
