2 Teaching methodology The course is developed by the use of three types of methodology: - Lecture sessions. - Case study debates and problem-solving sessions (case studies and exercises). - Self-study for doing exercises and activities. In the lecture sessions, lecturers will introduce the theoretical basis of the concepts, methods and results and illustrate them with examples appropriate to facilitate their understanding. In the case study debates and problem solving sessions, lecturers guide students in applying theoretical concepts to solve problems and cases, always using critical reasoning. We propose that students solve exercises in and outside the classroom, to promote contact and use the basic tools needed to solve problems. Students, independently, need to work on the materials provided by lecturers and the outcomes of the sessions of exercises/problems, in order to fix and assimilate the concepts. Lecturers provide the curriculum and monitoring of activities (by ATENEA). Learning objectives of the subject The course Supply Chain Management introduces students to the concepts, principles and techniques related to the order fulfilment process, the planning process, the design of the logistics chain process, the purchasing and procurement process, and the supplier's selection and development process.

4 Planning of activities ACTIVITY 1: THEORY/LARGE GROUPS SESSIONS Hours: 48h Theory classes: 28h Self study: 20h Preparation before and after the theory sessions and attendance. Notes posted to the Atenea platform. General literature of the course. During some sessions, exercises will be conducted in the class, individually or in small groups. Transfer the necessary knowledge for a correct interpretation of the contents in the large group sessions, resolving doubts about the content of the course and specific skills development. ACTIVITY 2: EXERCISES/MEDIUM GROUPS SESSIONS Hours: 34h Practical classes: 14h Self study: 20h Preparation before and after the theory sessions and attendance. Notes posted to the Atenea platform. General literature of the course. Cases and exercises posted to the Atenea platform. During these sessions the faculty will direct case discussions or will guide students on problem solving. In the sessions we will work in small groups, giving the result at the end of each session. It does not have any link with the assessment. Acquire skills for a correct interpretation of the subject problems' and cases, and a satisfactory resolution of them. Development of generic skills. ACTIVITY 3: MID-SEMESTER EXAM Hours: 11h Theory classes: 1h Self study: 10h Individual and writing assessment about the contents of module 1. Instructions and terms for the mid-semester exam. The hand-in will be the result of the exam. It represents 40% of the final course grade. 4 / 6

5 The exam must demonstrate that the student has acquired and assimilated the concepts, principles and fundamentals related to module 1. ACTIVITY 4: FINAL EXAM Hours: 12h Theory classes: 2h Self study: 10h Individual and writing assessment about the contents of modules 1 and 2. Instructions and terms for the final exam. The hand-in will be the result of the exam. It represents 50% of the final course grade. The exam must demonstrate that the student has acquired and assimilated the concepts, principles and fundamentals related to modules 1 and 2. ACTIVITY 5: COURSE FINAL PROJECT Hours: 20h Self study: 20h Team project to develop one of the themes of the course in greater depth and propose its implementation. It takes place outside the classroom sessions. Further literature of the course. Journal and conference electronic databases. The hand-in will be the report of the project. It represents 10% of the final course grade. The project must demonstrate that the student has acquired and assimilated the concepts, principles and fundamentals related to the modules 1 and 2. 5 / 6

6 Qualification system The final grade depends on the following assessment criteria: - Activity 3 (mid-semester exam), weight: 40% - Activity 4 (final exam), weight: 50% - Activity 5, weight: 10% All students unable to attend the third activity (mid-semester exam), or failing it, will have the option of repeating it with the fourth activity (final exam). Regulations for carrying out activities Activities 3 and 4 will take place individually and will be written. Activity 5 will take place in work teams. Bibliography Basic: Baudin, Michael.
