Perspectives in Logistics

An analysis of the labour market reveals that within the manufacturing, retail and consulting branches as well as at software companies and logistics service providers, there is a great demand for qualified supply chain managers.

Products and companies are no longer competing only with one another, but with entire supply chains and value networks. For individual companies or entire value creation systems to remain competitive, the integration of individual elements is critical. This is where supply chain management plays a crucial role. Integration is managed through specially-designed, holistic, integral processes that are embedded in information systems. Along with the technical considerations in value systems, it is important that the human component and associated interpersonal aspects be taken into account. Our curriculum reflects this principle.

Our distance learning M.Sc. in Supply Chain Management builds on students’ existing qualifications while they continue to pursue their careers. The highly pertinent and timely course content is designed to help students advance both professionally and personally. The programme particularly focuses on four main specializations:

• Business and Management
• Supply Chain Management (Global Logistics)
• Information Systems (especially ERP and SCM)
• Personal Competencies/Soft Skills

This focus allows students to shape their own individual professional profiles and equips them to carry out the wide variety of tasks required in a range of different industry branches. This distance learning M.Sc. in Supply Chain Management provides students with evidence-based knowledge on the design and management of local and global supply and value chains – while allowing them to continue to work in their chosen careers. In the face of ongoing globalization, there is a growing need for companies to increase their efficiency. This makes supply chain management concepts more relevant than ever before. As a result, companies are always on the lookout for highly qualified professionals able to identify and take advantage of opportunities while minimizing risk in value and supply chains.
