    Supply chain networks are the skeletons that underpin the business world. These networks are increasingly global in nature, with products consisting of parts manufactured in different regions of the world, assembled in other locations, and then shipped across continents 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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The <\/span>first year<\/span><\/b> introduces students to the basics of operations and transport management and logistics. It focuses on relevant concepts related to business information systems and geo-informatics as well as mathematics and statistics. Students learn about the fundamental principles, methods, techniques, and information tools that are required for the analysis, management, and operation of supply chains.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
