Master of Supply Chain & Operations Management (MSC-OM)

Traveling to study the complexities of operations and supply chain management is an ideal opportunity to study the theory and strategic principles underlying international business. The course is perfectly suited to provide prospective leaders with a deep appreciation for the connected networks and processes that regulate goods and service production and delivery. By a broad curriculum, the students will be instructed in the principal principles and practices that are the core of good and effective supply chain management.
The course starts with establishing a strong groundwork of principles in the basic theories of supply chain management. The students learn to examine traditional and modern models and see how the models handle the problems of emerging-era supply networks. Theoretical foundation is essential in building an astute understanding of the way the supply chains are structured and how they can be optimized to fit the needs of an evolving market scenario.
As the course proceeds, focus is on the strategic role of operations management. The students will analyze decision-making in successful operations strategies and learn how organizations can achieve competitive advantage through efficient resource allocation and process innovation. The students will learn how to anticipate challenges and create strategies that optimize operating efficiency and resiliency across various industries using case studies and theoretical frameworks.
At the core of this program is the study of transport and logistics theories that allow for efficient movement of commodities. Throughout the duration of the course, the learners will study complexities in global logistics networks and determinants of transportation decision-making and how they affect supply chain performance. Through this theory analysis, the students will be able to comprehend the importance of the role played by logistics in bridging the producers and consumers and thereby boosting world trade and business.
Inventory management, a key subject of this course, is analyzed from a theoretical point of view in order to derive its effect on supply chain performance. Students will study models that solve the issue of balance between demand and supply in relation to how inventory planning can reduce risks as well as improve service levels. Students, who are aware of these guidelines, can strategically contribute towards the maximization of inventory levels as well as customer satisfaction.
The program ends with a close analysis of supply chain integration and collaboration. Students will learn concepts that enable unified and cooperative activities among supply chain partners in an environment where resources and information are shared for mutual goals. The theoretical approach emphasizes the necessity of building strong relationships and trust within supply chains in a bid to develop innovation and efficiency.
Throughout the program, students must critically evaluate the material, developing analytical and strategic thinking capacities which are a prerequisite for success in operations leadership and supply chain. With graduation from the program, graduates will gain a solid theoretical foundation that will enable them to understand and organize the intricate global supply chain settings, hence pushing their career levels to the next step as well as helping their organizations succeed. This course provides a paradigm-shifting learning experience, equipping learners with the cognitive tools and intellectual leadership to succeed in the evolving discipline of supply chain and operations management.
