Location of Coventry University

This course is open to graduates of any subject and is aimed at graduates or experienced middle-managers who wish to understand the role of logistics in strategic management.

The course equips you with knowledge and skills relevant to business operations and strategy in a modern environment. Whilst providing a broad business background, it focuses on the management of the movement of materials, goods and labour, the supply chain, and issues in transport and distribution. This may be related to military, retail, passenger or freight applications, and may involve many forms of transport including air, sea, rail or road.

Rationalising the cost of such operations is a key task in many business organisations as part of cost-reduction strategies. The viability of a firm may be threatened if the right products are not delivered to the right people, in the right place, at the right time.

The course will develop your knowledge of the business environment, especially in regard to the management of logistics systems and the planning and delivery of logistics strategies. It examines the use of decision support systems and models related to logistics. Teaching will be augmented by high-profile guest speakers from a wide range of private, public, and voluntary sector organisations.
