You are required to critically examine the complex processes of global logistics and to evaluate the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) to supply chain.
The study will concentrate on a specific case study organisation, namely Tesco PLC. Students must demonstrate a thorough understanding of the processes as applicable to global logistics. They will be expected to critically analyse the case study (Tesco PLC) environment in relation to the application of the processes and their management of logistics within the retail sector. All elements of logistics as they apply to the case study must be included e.g. demand/forecasting, inventory, transport, customer services, distribution, procurement, strategic planning, risk etc.
You must also develop an individual theme for deeper application and analysis based on the application of Total
Quality Management (TQM) within the case study (Tesco PLC). The individual theme, while relevant to TQM with the case study (Tesco PLC), may be any area of supply chain that is of particular interest to the individual student.
