The Transport and Logistics course is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of the complex processes that make up the modern supply chain. Starting with an introduction to the basic concepts of supply chain management, the course delves into the fundamental principles of logistics, including organizing logistics, understanding the physical movements within the supply chain, and the evolving structure of supply chains. Students will learn about the roles played by different participants in the supply chain, allowing them to appreciate the importance of each stage.

As the course progresses, students explore the strategic elements of logistics, including operations planning, forecasting, procurement strategies, and inventory management. They will gain expertise in demand forecasting, supplier selection, and the benefits of multi-sourcing, all while learning about transportation management and warehouse logistics. The course covers both theoretical and practical aspects of these topics, giving students the ability to apply their knowledge in real-world situations.

Additionally, the course emphasizes the role of information technology in supply chain management, including the use of systems that support logistics, radio frequency identification (RFID), and supply chain integration. Students will learn how to use these technologies to improve efficiency and streamline processes. With detailed lessons on performance measurement and strategies for optimizing supply chains, students will gain critical skills to manage and assess supply chain operations effectively.
