Graduate Certificate in Integrated Logistics Management
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
About
The objective of the program is to provide you with the capability to strategically review, plan and manage a logistics supply chain system with specific reference to financial, operational, control, integrated management criteria and its strategy throughout the programmed life cycle.You can be part of this exciting career.
Significant advancement of information and communication systems in recent years has changed the world towards globalization of economy.
The design and operation of logistics systems require substantial planning and integration of services and support.
Due to the complexity and multi-disciplinary nature, the knowledge and expertise required to implement an efficient and effective logistics system should not be underestimated.
You will learn a complete range of logistics knowledge and skills covering areas such as the process from supplier to consumer, Third Party Logistic (3PL), distribution demands, reverse logistics, quality control, performance management, and total cost of ownership inventory management.
You will participate in syndicate groups that allow you to exploit your enthusiasm and dedication through industry case studies and presentations.
