The online MS in Supply Chain Management concentration in Logistics Management provides a solid foundation in the qualitative and quantitative methods used by logistics and transportation managers of complex global supply
chains. Specifically, the Logistics Management concentration will emphasize decision-making in the areas of transportation management, warehouse and distribution center operations, and logistics network design—including an understanding of key tradeoffs and the effect of variance in a logistics system. In addition, students will learn how to analyze alternative inventory, storage, and distribution networks using mathematical and statistical tools to forecast demand, calculate safety stock,
consider inventory aggregation, compare alternative transportation modes, and evaluate operational risks. Students will explore the foundations of international trade, import/export regulations, international tariffs, and other global trade mechanisms, as well as systematic process-oriented approaches to evaluating supply chain performance using statistical modeling with Six Sigma principles and techniques. With its disruption of so many moving parts, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the
critical and complex nature of logistics in global supply chains. A 2020 supply chain survey by Capgemini Research Institute shows that a significant majority of organizations—77 percent—are accelerating their investments in supply chain sustainability initiatives over the next three years, focusing on logistics and manufacturing. In their 2021 report, Allied Market Research projects that the global logistics market will reach almost $13 billion by 2027, registering a compound annual growth rate
of 6.5 percent from 2020 to 2027. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows fast-as-average job growth for logisticians through 2029, with an annual median wage of $76,270 in 2020. By including insight into the management of performance and exposure to the coordination of large-scale projects, the Logistics Management concentration will ensure that graduates are well-equipped to take their place among today’s supply chain leaders.
