Course description
The realisation that there is such a high failure rate in modern projects in areas such as business, commerce, public sector programmes, disaster management, education and entertainment, has highlighted the competitive advantages of good project management.
This programme offers an exclusive curriculum in which project management is embedded into logistics and supply chain process management including procurement, production, distribution and customer service, with a diverse range of management styles and structures. It embraces the latest Information and Communications Technologies skills applied to logistics, and covers global supply chain management business strategies for organisations doing business in the global arena.
The following new developments have been introduced: membership of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT); visits to industrial locations; seminars given by guest speakers from industry; and collaboration with business partners for dissertation projects.
