The learning outcome are :
1. Identify the issues within CSC.
2. Analyse the performance of a CSC.
3. Apply SCM theory and best practice in the CSC.
4. Develop a framework and strategies in improving the CSC performance.
5. Generate a comprehensive report of a construction industry case and present the report in a team or independently.
However, this module does not have any exam. It consist of two assignment which worth 50% of each of it.
For the individual assignment, I am required to prepare a proposal for my company with development that suits a piece of 10 acre land beside One Utama Shopping Mall. This assignment required us to derived market segmentation for the project and suggest the best development that suits the land.
For the second assignment, we are required to do a group assignment and an individual assignment. For the group assignment, we are divided into a group of 5 to study on the Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. It aims to let us familiarize with the current technology trend in the industry and allows students to analyze the impact of the technology towards construction supply chain management.

Reflection:
Throughout this module, I have learnt Building information modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. Some BIM software claim ability to do 7D BIM. Throughout this assignment, I have learned and well known about BIM and all of the different types of software, advantages, and disadvantages. However, I have also learned the proper way to do a market segmentation in order to start up a project in a particular site in order to know which choices is most demanded in the market. Lastly, i have also improved my communication skills with my group members during the assignment in order to communicate with them so that our assignment are able to finish on time.
