SUSS Dialogue Session: Logistics and Supply Chain Management (Graduate Diploma)

Programme Overview

The logistics and supply chain management sector plays a significant role in Singapore's economy. The Future Economy Council has identified logistics as a key growth sector. The growth in this sector creates tremendous opportunities for logistics and supply chain professionals in Singapore. In addition, the industry is witnessing new developments like supply chain digitalisation, the advent of data analytics and interest in green supply chains. Singapore is also a logistics hub for the region, and doing business requires knowledge and understanding of various logistical challenges businesses face in the region. These developments created demands for logistics and supply chain professionals but require them to acquire new knowledge, up-skill, or re-skill themselves.

According to a 2023 report by Workforce Singapore, the country faces a talent shortage in mid-to-senior-level supply chain roles. The Graduate Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (GDLSCM) programme offered by the School of Business addresses this talent and skills gap in the logistics and supply chain management industry. It aims to prepare students with relevant skillsets to further their organisation's digital transformation of supply chains and/or transition to greener supply chains. Students will be equipped with various strategies and analytical tools to improve the performance of the organisations' supply chain. The programme will facilitate networking opportunities for students in the ASEAN region and beyond.

The programme adopts a mixture of hands-on learning, lecture delivery, and presentation of industry practitioners from local and overseas industries or universities. It provides students with many opportunities to interact with leading experts and industry practitioners from the region to understand the logistics challenges and issues peculiar to different countries. Case studies, in particular, will be used extensively throughout the programme to make students aware of the new practices and developments in the industry.

Upon completion of the programme, graduates will be equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to pursue a successful career in logistics and supply chain management.
