5 Core Unit Core TPTM5001 Logistics and Supply Chain Management Foundation unit must be done in the first semester of your degree This unit provides an understanding of these two important concepts. It offers sound grounding in terms, concepts, techniques and principles that underlie logistics and supply chain management, exploring both concepts and demonstrating how together these contribute towards a strategically effective and operationally efficient organisation. Students with extensive practical experience in the logistics industry may apply to substitute t another unit for TPTM Please provide a CV and covering outlining your experience to Professor John Rose (john.rose@sydney.edu.au) 5

6 Compulsory units Compulsory units TPTM6115 Organisational Logistics The aim of this unit is to provide an integrated approach to both micro and macro aspects of organisational behaviour particularly related to the transport and logistics industries. The unit examines actions at three different levels of analysis: the individual, the group and the organisation. TPTM6495 Analysis Tools for Transport and Logistics (MLM students, recommended for MCom students) a pre-requisite fortptm6190 and TPTM6310 Successful business strategies are generally based on diverse forms of analysis on information collected from a wide range of sources. This unit of study yprovides an introduction to the theory and principles p of quantitative analysis of transport and logistics markets. The statistical analysis skills and knowledge acquired from the course work and work experience gained from the PGWEP are the key contributors enabling me to win this job over other candidates who do not have logistics background even though they have permanent residency while I don't. Former ITLS student,

7 MCom: Core, Compulsory, Capstone Capstone TPTM6170 Value Chain Management Capstone unit for MLM, core for MCom - must be done in the last semester of your degree The aim of this unit is to examine value chain networks with the key focus of the unit being to introduce the concepts of what has been identified as the New Economy Business Model. The changes occurring are not just sales and marketing driven, but encompass design and development, production distribution ib ti and service in a holistic business model. It explores the concepts using examples and case studies. I think [this unit] is the most important subject in logistics management and dil learnt a lot about value delivery along the supply chain. Itis basic to understand the meaning of logistics. Former ITLS student, 2011 Note capstone in MLM and MCom in From S1 2012, there will be a new generic MCom capstone unit. 7

8 Logistics and Supply Chain Management: Electives 2

9 Electives Semester 2 TPTM6190 Logistics Systems This unit provides an in-depth introduction to various analytical tools, techniques and software which are useful in the design and day to day operations of logistics organisations and integrated supply chains. Emphasis in the unit is on which tools (in particular, students will be exposed to Enterprise Resource Planning tool) to use and when to use them in order to improve the overall performance and reduce costs in operating within supply chains. I was able to convince the leadership to increase the commitment ceiling by around USD $17M the time series forecasting techniques taught by Andrew in the Logistics Systems course are now the main tools I use to analyse trends and forecast the expenditure and take/shape decisions on adjusting budgets in my organization. Former ITLS student,

10 Electives Semester 2 TPTM6260 International Logistics The trend toward an integrated global economy and global competitive arena is forcing companies to design products for the global market and to rationalise their production and distribution activities so as to maximise corporate resources. This unit takes a very strategic view of international logistics and deals with logistics i from inland origin i to final destination i covering broad issues of system design and those associated with aspects of international transport, and location and distribution. It takes into account various issues in international operations such as differences in cultures, infrastructure, and transportation systems. The unit integrates concepts with examples of company practices in Australia and elsewhere. 10

11 Electives Semester 2 TPTM6495 Analysis Tools for Transport and Logistics Successful business strategies are generally based on diverse forms of analysis on information collected from a wide range of sources. This unit of study provides an introduction to the theory and principles of quantitative analysis of transport and logistics markets. TPTM6160 Aviation Management and Logistics The aviation industry is changing rapidly with resulting commercial opportunities in airlines and airports. This course will develop an understanding of the economics of operating airlines and airports and the implications of competitive strategies for the development of hubs and networks. Airline topics include airline strategies, marketing, the formation and management of alliances, yield/revenue management, travel sales and distribution. 11

12 Electives Semester 2 TPTM6180 Geographical Information Systems Geographical Information Systems (GIS), are revolutionising i i the ability to support different types of transportation, logistics and planning analyses. Students are introduced to the fundamentals of GIS, the spatial model, how data are organised and how spatial queries work. It then focuses on spatial data sources, with a particular focus on GPS, including practical application and use within a GIS system. A hands-on focus offers students use of the powerful TransCAD GIS software to analyse a number of problems (e.g., planning a routing and delivery system, locating a new warehouse, establishing potential demand for a new bus service). Students will also gain knowledge of how open-source GIS software (e.g., Google Maps, Google Streets) can be used to analyse spatial problems. 12

13 Electives Semester 2 TPTM6310 Project Management This course focuses on project management skills with the application in logistics and supply chain projects. Planning is critical to project success and consumes only a fraction of project monies yet locks in major decisions with profound ramifications for the whole of project life and the end results to the changes in supply chains. Project success is based on the ability of project managers to lead their teams to finish their project on time, on (or under) budget and to the specified quality. 13

14 Electives Substitution of units from MTM Where relevant to a student s studies units from the MTM program may be substituted for MLM electives 14

15 Logistics and Supply Chain Management: Summer School

16 Electives Summer School 2013 TPTM6440 International Freight Transportation This unit seeks to give students an understanding of the dynamics of the express, air freight and shipping i business. The course will discuss underlying drivers of international trade flows and the demand for capacity in different freight transport modes, as well as industry structure, regulatory environment and market access. Building on this background the course will highlight the implications for profitable air cargo and shipping operations. Particular focus will be given to fleet and network planning, revenue and cost management. The material covered in the course will take into account recent developments in global and regional economic activity and discuss implications for the various sectors of the air and sea-freight businesses. 16

17 Electives Summer School 2013 TPTM6380 Retail Logistics Logistics management in retailing organisations is a critical activity. For many fast moving consumer goods retailing companies, logistics management is a major process in delivering customer value and containing operating costs. Typically retailers operate on low margins and as logistics costs are a large proportion of their total costs the topic is of extreme importance. A number of related decision areas are considered such as; the changing retail environment and its implications for logistics management; developing and implementing a merchandise strategy; sourcing and procurement; deciding upon store outlet numbers and their catchment locations, in-store format strategies; the role of customer service; and, customer communications decisions. 17

18 Electives Summer School 2013 TPTM6240 Public Transport Policy and Planning (MLM only) Having relevance to all areas of transport, urban planning, public administration and passenger logistics, this unit provides an understanding di of the characteristics of public transport systems and creates a framework to analyse public transport performance. It considers topics relevant to an appreciation of public transport operations and the role of public transport in the overall transport offer. The key focus is to instil a broad understanding of the concepts, issues and impacts of public transport for intra- and inter-urban areas and for rural areas. Within the context of an analytical framework, this unit builds an appreciation of the importance, the drivers and the problems of achieving efficient operation of transport systems. Public transport management is heavily influenced by the regulatory and institutional framework and the financial environment in which public transport operates: these key issues are explored to explain why countries/states have different levels and types of public transport. 18
