As part of the course ‘Introduction to the Value Chain’, the students from the Master in Global Supply Chain Management traded the classroom for safety vests and went behind the scenes at both Nike and Kuehne+Nagel. 🦺
Nike opened its warehouses to show how they coordinate distribution across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. More specifically, how they manage inventory across various channels, with an eye on the costs and investment involved. Then it was the students’ turn, with an interactive business game that challenged them to make their own strategic decisions for the EMEA region. Inland Terminals Group also joined in, to present their own activities and logistics challenges.
At Kuehne+Nagel, the students toured the distribution center, learning about the complexities of contract logistics. From setting up operations & managing the distribution of products, to translating customer needs into an efficient process without compromising on responsive service. 👌
Next week, the course will take them on another visit to Thermo Fisher
