Textile Value Chain Management

Overview

You will gain fundamental knowledge in the textile value chain and specialize in the management of different parts of the supply chain. A special emphasis is on sustainability, which is an important area of research at the Swedish School of Textiles. 

The programme

The courses during the first year represent the textile value chain from idea to design, via production and distribution, to market and handling of backflows.

During the second year, you proceed with textile management but this time specialise in management of the supply chain. Central topics this year are management of production and logistics, prognostics, and risk management. The Textile Value Chain Management programme from University of Boras  has a strong basis in current research in textile management focusing on sustainability in the textile value chain.

It also has strong basis in research in business administration and industrial economics at the University of Borås. Several courses are about controlling one specific part of the value chain and about how the different parts in the chain links and affect each other.

After your studies

You will have the tools to manage marketing and consumer behavior in many textile and fashion processes. You will be able to develop textile value chain processes and specialize in management of different parts of the supply chain.
