SECTION 1: MODULE RUBRIC Module Provider: Supported Departments: School of Infocomm (SOI) NA Credit Units: 4 Total Curriculum Hours: 60 SECTION 2: MODULE OVERVIEW This module aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge, skills and techniques required by students who intend to work as IT professionals in the manufacturing and logistics area. The knowledge and skills garnered by students will allow them to implement and/or customize IT systems that support the manufacturing and logistics business functions and processes of a business. The module coverage will include: Role of corporate structure in a Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and an overview of how IT systems support businesses and their processes Pricing, partners management and inventory changes in an Order-to-Cash (OTC) cycle. Production strategies, demand forecast and Sales & Operation planning (S&OP) Special procurement processes and inventory changes in a Purchase-to-Pay (PTP) cycle Production cycle in discrete and process manufacturing Inventory Costing methods and the impact of the costing methods to Sales, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and profit Quality control cycle and qualtity management process Electronice Data Interchange (EDI) Logistics services which include warehousing, transportation and third party logistics (3PL) services To attain the graduate outcome of basic competency with flagship business applications/software and tools that support the above business functions, such as the SAP ERP system, laboratory exercises will be designed to provide opportunities for students to practice and demonstrate technical skills as well as content knowledge. Laboratory exercises will be designed in relation to manufacturing and logistics business processes so that students can relate how business in these domains functions. This is an advanced module where students should preferably have undertaken a foundational module on business functions and business processes such as the C360 Enterprise Solutions for Business module.

SECTION 4: TEACHING AND LEARNING The teaching and learning approach adopted in this module is primarily problem-based learning. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) The module adopts the typical PBL model which involves students working on one problem a day over a structure of three learning phases and one study period. The characteristics of PBL are as follows: A problem is used to trigger learning of new knowledge and skills Students work in collaborative small groups in the process of learning The main role of a teacher is a facilitator of students learning Students are given the opportunity to construct their own knowledge with the assistance of a facilitator and other suitable scaffolds Students are given the opportunity to undergo individual self-directed learning Students have an opportunity to present their findings/solution Students reflect not just upon what they learn but how they went about learning SECTION 5: ASSESSMENT Assessment Methods Students are assessed based on 2 main components: Continuous Assessment (CA) and Semester Assessments. The students are assessed on their attainment of knowledge and practical skills, engagement with knowledge and practical skills and engagement in collaborative learning for the CA. These criteria focus both on the development of good learning processes and learning behaviors as well as the attainment of skill and knowledge. For the Semester Assessments, the students are assessed on their ability to understand and apply what they have learnt at two points of the semester: Mid Semester Assessment (MSA) and End Semester Examination (ESE). Assessment Weighting The assessment components for this module are the (i) Continuous Assessment (CA) and (ii) Summative Assessment. (SA). The Mid Semester Assessment (MSA) and End- Semester Examination (ESE) will form the SA component. The breakdown in weightings between CA and MSA/ESE is tabulated below. Breakdown between CA and MSA/ESE Weighting (%) CA 30 MSA / ESE 70 The weightings for MSA and ESE are shown below. Breakdown between MSA and ESE Weighting (%) MSA 40 ESE 60 Manufacturing and Logistics Applications Page 6
