ماذا سوف أتعلم؟
The programme has three pillars: i) supply chain and logistics management in practice, ii) data science methods to better capture uncertainty, and 3) operations research and management science to optimise decisions. For the first pillar, you'll learn the fundamental processes and decisions involved in logistics and supply chain management, together with the business context in which they are embedded. These include, for instance, demand forecasting and management, inventory management, transportation, quality management, warehouse management, supply network design, and production planning. You will become familiar with various factors that are challenging and reshaping existing supply and logistics networks, including sustainability, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and changes in the geopolitical landscape. The second pillar focuses on transforming big data produced by firms, their partners, and the broader production networks to economic, environmental, and social value. For this, you will learn statistics and machine learning and develop projects to solve logistics and supply chain problems using the methods of data analytics. The third pillar enables moving from predictive to prescriptive analytics by using the modern methods of management science and operations research, which enables optimising decisions at operational, strategic, and tactical levels.The programme has an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating knowledge from business studies, management science, and data science, with a core focus on logistics and supply chain management. We provide a comprehensive education on these topics that is delivered across three semesters. A number of elective modules allow you to specialise on international business strategy, complex networks and innovation, and project management.
