Supply Chain Management (SCM)

Welcome!

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.

Unique in Europe

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.
