Where the combined marks of the assessment and examination do not reach the pass mark the learner will be required to repeat the element of assessment that they failed. Reassessment materials will be published on Moodle after the Examination Board Meeting and will be aligned to the MIMLOs and learners will be capped at 40% unless there are personal mitigating circumstances.
The aim of this module is to foster a deep understanding of the operations function within an organisation and its critical impact on business performance. Through practical case studies and real-world projects, learners will gain hands-on experience in managing global supply chains, ensuring they are well-prepared to tackle the complexities and challenges of modern supply chain management.
