This degree by coursework and minor thesis extends on (and requires prior completion of) the Graduate Diploma of Logistics Management. Logistics management is the planning, coordinating and controlling of resources and information involved in the flow of goods from resource to final customer. The aim of the course is to provide students with an intellectually demanding and advanced understanding of logistics management concepts and to improve substantially the logistical and general managerial expertise of participants in their work life.

• have a developed range of technical and managerial approaches for linking logistical and strategic objectives and actions from one end of the supply chain to the other.
