Abstract: The primary purpose of this paper is to describe and illustrate the development of a framework related to proper design of a supply chain, emphasising a systemic approach to models and methods development as part of the operations management and decision sciences curriculum. The underlying premise of the suggested approach is to build an interface between theory, application, and tools and techniques relevant to the design of supply chain management systems. To this end, this approach integrates learning related to theoretical concepts from systems science, characterisation of applications utilising systems engineering, and tools and techniques from industrial engineering, operations research, and management science disciplines.
