Content Official Master's Degree in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Ideal student profile

The admission profile for the master’s degree requires training in fields related to engineering, technological or economic science.

Knowledge

  • Recognise and relate terminology in the field of LSCM.
  • List and define general concepts and strategies in the field of LSCM planning and management.
  • Identify key performance indicators and quality factors in the field of LSCM.
  • Find the most promising strategies based on analytical or quantitative methods in order to help tackle problems in the field of activity and resource planning.
  • Identify the most appropriate optimisation or simulation methods to support strategic, tactical and operational decision-making processes.
  • Find relevant and available technology that will help plan, manage and coordinate logistics operations concerning supply, production, distribution and services.
  • Identify gender stereotypes and roles and their possible impact on professional practice.

Skills

  • Analyse, organise and discuss logistical situations in order to identify and model the usual dependence, influence and impact relationships on the main performance indicators and quality factors, then evaluate their complexity.
  • Select and apply the most relevant strategies and methodologies to develop solutions to problems related to the management and coordination of resources, processes and material, information and financial flows.
  • Select and apply the most relevant current technologies to develop solutions to problems related to the management and coordination of material, information and financial flows.
  • Evaluate the benefits of applying new strategies, analytical methodologies and/or technologies to LSCM problem solving and assess the impact.
  • Apply quantitative techniques based on optimisation and/or simulation models in order to evaluate various alternatives and select the most promising solution.
  • Justify and defend solutions to problems related to LSCM through oral and written communication in English, demonstrating synthesis and presentation skills.

Competences

 

  • Address problems related to logistics management and coordination in terms of production, transport and services using a holistic approach.
  • Compile, adapt and/or combine general supply chain management concepts and strategies, relevant environmental considerations and quality, technological and financial factors in a consistent, systematic and integrated way.
  • Develop and/or compile solid arguments supported by quantitative models and analytical methods, to convince and motivate decision-makers and to plan and coordinate the project and implement the solution.
  • Select the best supply chain partners and plan and coordinate the project in order to implement the solution.
  • Compile, analyse and manage the information obtained from relevant sources, keeping in mind the gender perspective and the bias this may entail, as well as documenting and reflecting on the problem-solving process in order to identify the lessons that have been learned.
  • Tackle new challenges in the field of LSCM from a scientific perspective in order to devise and propose a rigorous and efficient approach to problem solving.
  • Gather and formulate the main elements that need to be planned in order to solve a problem, specifying the limitations of the project and proposing a solution.
