Why study Supply Chain Management?

Strategic supply chain management is the backbone of any contemporary organisation and a key to unlocking business innovation and competitiveness. These days, it’s the quality of supply chain management – adding value at every touch point, by reducing variability and uncertainty – that can set a business apart from its competitors.

New technologies, information systems and management approaches are disrupting traditional supply chain processes, making highly qualified supply chain professionals are more in demand than ever. The Master of Strategic Supply Chain Management builds value chain management skills and an understanding of the supply chain in a broader organisational context.

Study fundamental business processes (management, project management, procurement) and specialist subjects (Supply Chain Complexity, Logistics, Network Design) and gain a thorough and highly specialised business qualification.

“I chose to study the Master of Supply Chain Management at UTS because I wanted a course that linked theory with industry practice. The course provided interrelated subjects across multiple business functions that extended my knowledge and understanding of the tasks and challenges associated with managing today’s global supply chains.”
