Five destinations. Multiple industries. One opportunity to see how supply chain theory is applied in the real world.

For students on our MSc Logistics and Supply Chain Management programme, our annual study tour provides the opportunity to see first-hand how supply chain concepts are applied across a range of real-world environments.

From lean manufacturing and automation to port logistics, e-commerce fulfilment and customer-facing operations, the tour offered valuable insights into how planning, people, technology and continuous improvement underpin successful supply chains.

The experience highlighted how different organisations face unique operational challenges while sharing a common focus on coordination, efficiency and delivering value.

What happens when supply chain theory leaves the classroom and meets the real world?

For students on our MSc Logistics and Procurement & Supply Chain Management programme, Cranfield's annual study tour provides exactly that opportunity.

In his latest blog, Zaheer Samuel reflects on the Manchester study tour, where students visited organisations including Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK, Mercedes-Benz, JD com and the Etihad Stadium to explore how supply chains operate across manufacturing, fulfilment, service logistics and major events.

From lean production and automation to inventory availability and demand responsiveness, the experience helped bring classroom concepts to life through direct industry exposure.

Leadership is often overcomplicated, but for Neil Heslop OBE (MBA 1992) and 2026 Distinguished Alumni Award winner, it comes down to something much simpler: people, money and technology - with people always coming first.

His perspective is refreshingly clear. Leadership isn’t about control. It’s about creating the conditions for others to succeed.

Neil’s work and career reflect a consistency of purpose, one that is shaped by belief in people, strengthened through collaboration, and driven by a determination to turn leadership into lasting social change.

At a time when expectations of leadership are evolving, his advice is to know yourself, invest in relationships and run towards challenges.
