Supply
chain networks are the skeletons that underpin the business world. These
networks – more and more – are global in nature, with products consisting of
parts manufactured in different regions of the world, assembled in yet other
locations and then shipped across continents and oceans to retailers and
consumers. Such complex networks consist of manufacturers and their suppliers,
shippers and carriers using various modes of transportation, distribution
centers where the products are stored and sent
to retailers which ultimately supply the customers. Supply chains involve many
decision-makers interacting with one another, sometimes competing, and at other
times cooperating out of necessity.
The Master of Science in Supply
Chain Management is unique, because it offers not
only a thorough education in relevant theories and state-of-the-art methods and
techniques, but also aims to provide a transdisciplinary and integrated view for gaining a deeper
understanding of supply chain related decision problems in a performance perspective.
Such decision problems in supply chains will be considered from the view of different types
of focal companies, such as manufacturers/suppliers, logistics service providers
and retailers.
