Supply chain and logistics
Industry of focus is Pharmaceuticals – PFIZER
Awareness of sustainability issues is growing among businesses, customers, communities and legislators. As a result, sustainability has become increasingly important for many companies in recent years, forcing changes to logistics and operations. New policies, new business models, technologies and investments have been the result.
How have logistics and operations management changed? In your essay you
are required to cover two themes:
A) Identify ONE particular sustainability issue (include climate change, water shortages, air quality, resource depletion, etc.)
Discuss the need for changes in logistics and operations management policies of business based on your selected sustainability issue.
B) Discuss the process of adaptation as companies alter their strategies in response to sustainability concerns. Use at least: sustainable warehousing, reverse logistics, green product design, ethical procurement. Your essay should discuss the cost of adaptation and the potential impact for companies that fail to adapt their supply chain strategies in the face of sustainability concerns.
C) Using TWO examples from the agreed goals in COP26 last year in Glasgow include the relevant legislation and management practices that supports the eliminating of environmental impact of logistics and operations. *(FOCUS AREA SHOULD BE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION)*
