Supply Chain and Logistics Management MSc

University of Warwick

With ever changing market dynamics and global reach becoming increasingly important, the MSc in Supply Chain and Logistics Management is designed to equip graduates with the ability to manage complex supply chain decisions with a focus on value creation. The key themes of sustainability, supply chain resilience, and digitisation run throughout the programme and underpin the central concept of a supply network. As a student, you will master supply chain decision modelling across the different stages in a supply chain and will go through a structured learning journey from understanding customer requirements and translating them into functional requirements and design parameters, to strategic procurement, production scheduling, and distribution planning. You will develop competencies in data analytics and sustainable supply chain design, and will understand the impact of supply chain and logistics dynamics on organisational performance and competitiveness. The shift towards more sustainable practices across the wider supply chain is now more critical than ever. Sustainability, however, is complex, with objectives across economic, environmental, and social factors that don’t always align. The course aims to develop your skillset to manage these trade-offs in order to design a more sustainable future. With increased turbulence and disruption across global supply chains, current supply chain practices are no longer fit for purpose. The course will introduce risk management across different business functions to develop more resilient supply chains. As the world moves towards a more digitised platform, the course will also look at current and future planned developments in supply chain digitisation such as integrating cloud-based supply chain infrastructure blockchain technology-based product traceability and information security and robotics and artificial intelligence in logistics and warehousing operations.
