Masters in Supply Chain Management

Introduction

The Supply Chain Management capability within businesses has over the last decade in particular, taken on a much more significant role in enabling businesses to gain competitive advantage and deliver bottom line performance. As companies strive to identify their competitive edge, the noticeable lack of commendable skills within the Supply Chain Management domain continues to affect businesses not just locally in Uganda, but also regionally and on the continent. MSCM aims to provide participants with the resources, a mindset and skills necessary to building a successful career in the local and international logistics and supply chain management arena by building both solid theoretical knowledge and “hands-on” practical experience about planning and management of supply chains and logistics strategies, networks, processes and systems. This MSCM programme covers a wide range of topics in supply chain strategies, logistics design, planning, operations and development. Emphasis has been laid mainly on the perspective of integrated supply process which is increasing becoming an interest for managers. Realizing value in business through relationship management, cost reduction and lean supply have been well considered.
