Program Modules

  • Integrated Logistics Networks

    Focus on operational management, micro-forecasting, and the structural, functional and operational aspects of making logistics decisions. With the goal of reducing costs and increasing profit margins, you will understand how optimizing each link in the supply chain can promote the company’s agenda of customer value creation.

  • Simplex Logistics

    This module gives you an 8-step problem-solving toolkit. Using divergent-convergent thinking on problems or situations that are not well-defined, you create a clear path towards a solution and an action plan.

    Working through case examples, you will apply the tool towards a real problem or situation you are facing/have faced at work.

  • Logistics Process Mapping

    Understand logistics and supply chain processes, mapping them from the source to the customer. You will explore processes in terms of supply, transportation and logistics, manufacturing and operations, and finally, the complex supply chain of a product.

What you'll do in this program:

This is a self-directed program that builds on your existing experience; it is an applied learning program.

In exploring the three modules, you'll work through case studies and course content. The first module includes an 80-question multiple-choice test that allows you to advance to the next stage with a minimum score of 65% (three attempts). The second module includes a final exercise you'll apply to your own workplace case. In the final module, you will complete various process mapping exercises.
