During the course of the programme, candidates get information on how to synchronise the flow of products, information, and funds between organisations, suppliers and customers in a way that adds value for the end consumers of their products.

In today’s turbocharged competitive environment, supply chain managers are increasingly part of their organisation’s strategic management teams that work to competitively position their organisation and their supply chain in a global marketplace. Logistics and supply chain networks become increasingly complex. With tighter deadlines and greater financial risks from disruptions, supply chain professionals can benefit from additional education and credentials to assist them in their current position or to advance their careers in logistics or supply chain management. The aim of the Master Programme in Supply Chain Management is to enhance higher-order skills and abilities to think in tandem about the people, processes, and technologies required for world-class integrated supply chain management.

To add value to the programme, Prof René de Koster visited the Department of Business Management to teach in the Master Programme. He is a professor of logistics and operations management at the Department of Management of Technology and Innovation, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM). Prof De Koster's research interests are warehousing, materials handling, container terminal operations, behavioural operations and sustainable logistics.
