In today’s global economy, supply chains must be efficient, resilient, and responsive to change. Simulation modelling plays an important role in helping organisations understand, test, and improve complex logistics across the supply chain.

This 5-week, Level 9 micro-credential introduces you to the fundamentals of simulation in the supply chain and the software used for simulation modelling.

You’ll learn how to build and analyse discrete event simulation models, evaluate performance metrics, and use simulation to support business decisions.

Designed for professionals working in, or seeking employment in, logistics, operations, or manufacturing, this module helps you develop sought-after practical supply chain modelling skills.

This module is associated with Professional Diploma Supply Chain Management and the MSc in Supply Chain Operations. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
