Global supply chain management combines the functions of product procurement, production, warehousing and distribution, from raw material suppliers to consumers. Its importance to the economy is significant: various studies have shown that transportation alone accounts for more than 10% of a product’s cost.
As globalization continues to affect markets and supply sources, particularly in countries where the cost of production is low, the international nature of supply chains plays an important role in a company's success. Relying simultaneously on operations management, operational research and international business, logistics also makes use of marketing and information technologies.
The M.Sc. in Global supply chain management provides future managers with a holistic vision of the various components of international logistics, as well as in-depth knowledge of the main decision-making tools used in this field. Graduates work as logistics specialists for large manufacturing, distribution and retail businesses, or as analysts for consulting and logistics services firms.
