Business UnLtd (United Utilities and Smart Award)

Business UnLtd

Funded by a grant from United Utilities and a Smart Award, this is a simulation of a business supply chain and is designed to be the corner stone of a dedicated supply chain awareness programme for large businesses. Within the learning-simulation (computer-based resource management model), the supply chain is currently un-sustainable. In the role of managing director of the various businesses, the learners need to alter the way their business operates to meet their obligations with regard to sustainable development (social, environmental and economic). Additionally they have to work together as a supply chain for the good of the whole community.
