A combination of teaching and learning methods will be used, aiming at the active participation of the students and the practical application of the thematic units under examination; there will also be lectures using audiovisual media, discussions, and analyses of case studies on real business issues, experiential (group) activities, as well as projections of relevant videos. The students will also undertake an individual or group project.
Furthermore, articles, audiovisual lecture materials, web links/addresses, useful information, case studies and exercises for further practice are posted in digital form on the AUA Open e-Class platform.
The course will give students practical experience in addressing real-world supply chain challenges in an international context and will help them develop important cross-cultural communication and collaboration skills required to operate effectively in global supply chains. In addition, an interdisciplinary perspective is promoted, as the requirements of an international supply chain project intersect with many business disciplines and would allow students to apply knowledge from other courses. Examining the complexity of international supply chains with the contribution of project management will enhance students’ analytical and problem-solving skills.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: analyze and apply various technologies and marking standards in different industries. develops and implements comprehensive traceability strategies for different supply chains, demonstrating the ability to integrate modern technologies such as RFID, blockchain and IoT for improved visibility and control. evaluates and optimizes logistics marking processes, demonstrating the ability to improve efficiency, accuracy and compliance in warehouse management and transportation operations. applies data analysis techniques for marking and traceability information, demonstrating skills in leveraging supply chain data for business insights and decision-making. designs and presents solutions for complex marking and traceability challenges in global supply chains, demonstrating critical thinking and problem-solving skills in addressing cross-border issues and emerging industry trends.
