Aim and Syllabus of the Course
Logistics is already one of the world’s leading economic industries and today logistics has a wider meaning than the mere provision of handling and transport of goods and information. Nowadays logistics has evolved from an operational function to a key business process, the so-called Supply Chain Management (SCM).
This course is intended to provide students with an overview of the logistics and supply chain topical issues, with a series of advanced managerial tools aimed at optimising the flow of goods and information through the supply chain, along with the implementation of managerial solutions by means of real-life practical business games. In this way, the course offers the possibility to combine an understanding of managerial issues with theoretical and practical knowledge of appropriate methodologies for planning and managing complex projects.
