This unit introduces insights in enterprise optimisation and transformation and focuses specifically on approaches, tools and methodologies to develop and recommend solutions for strategically guided business performance improvements, supported by an array of modern technologies.

This unit provides students foundation-level skills and knowledge of logistics and operations management; and demonstrates how their application can help business organisations to remain competitive in an increasingly challenging global marketplace. Topics include: value chains and strategic perspectives, sustainable supply chains, demand forecasting and capacity planning, managing inventories, resource management systems, process & quality management and related topics.

These 2-week industry-based programs place student groups of 4–5 with a local company to solve a business problem or project. At the end of the project, student groups provide the host company with a report and presentation. These programs also include a range of cultural and tourist activities.
