In this context, there is a need to train highly trained experts in supply chain management and logistics, with a special focus on digital transformation, e-commerce and the impact of artificial intelligence.
The Master's Degree in Supply Chain & Logistics at SUMMA University is presented as a necessary and relevant response in the current business context. This program stands out for its innovative approach and its ability to apply artificial intelligence in supply chain management, thus enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of logistics processes through logistics 4.0.
First, digital transformation has revolutionized the operation and connection with customers, optimizing the supply chain through technologies such as AI, big data, IoT, and robotics. Second, commerce demands a personalized experience, creating logistical challenges. Supply chain professionals must understand e-commerce and develop efficient strategies to satisfy customers in this digital environment.
This master's program provides students with the necessary skills to adapt to current market changes and challenges. Participants will learn how to design and execute effective logistics strategies that integrate digital transformation and e-commerce under the forefront of Artificial Intelligence in supply chain management. In addition, they will acquire knowledge in data analysis, data-driven decision-making, and digital transformation project management.
One of the advantages, in addition, of this program is that it allows you to obtain optional certifications such as the CSCM® (Certified Supply Chain Manager) Certificate from ISCEA (International Supply Chain Education Alliance), as well as the Internal Auditor Certificate in the ISO 28000 Standard by SGS.
The learning methodology is based on the "case method", a virtual course with interactive screens, virtual lectures, videos of the teacher, virtual review sessions and interactive exercises.
You will have weekly work planning and the personalized monitoring of an academic mentor. The teaching staff is made up of PhDs from the world of business and academia.
Upon completion of the postgraduate program, our students will have the managerial and methodological tools to work in the following positions or areas, whether in the maritime, railway, airport, storage, land transport sectors, among many others:
