Course Overview
Getting the right product to the right place in the right quantity at the right time, in the best condition and at an acceptable cost is the challenge of logistics. It is an area that embraces purchasing and supplier management, materials management and manufacturing, inventory management and warehousing, distribution and transport, and customer service. Logistics and Supply chain management offers a career that will continually develop an individual's potential and reward ambition in a challenging global environment.
Since the demand for logistics professionals outstrips the supply, there are excellent opportunities for rapid career progression for those with the drive to succeed. Careers in logistics and supply chain management offer early responsibility, exciting challenges with good remuneration and opportunities to travel. The typical student for this pathway seeks a generalist background able to exploit any of the job opportunities found within the logistics industries. The services supporting the retail industry form the focus for discussion and analysis.
