Master global logistics and supply chain strategies with expert-led training.
Please note: Courses SCMT.X402 Logistics and Transportation Management and BUSM.X420 Logistics and Transportation Management are the same course.
Logistics management is the art of moving and storing materials from one point to another on the globe. In this course for people interested in building supply chain expertise, we study various transporting modes for products through road, rail, water, and air. Students will gain an understanding of transportation models and inventory localization which are focal points in network planning strategies.
We will review the supply chain operations reference (SCOR) model with its focus on improving supply chain processes. Finally, we will discuss the increased costs of logistics resulting from the worldwide lockdown due to the COVID pandemic, and lessons learned.
