MSc Logistics and Global Operations at University of Lincoln

Companies depend on the supply chain for product delivery to their customers. The supply chain includes the production and movement of materials and products from suppliers to manufacturers to distributors to retailers and finally to the end customers. Managing this process is critical to the success of any company along the supply chain. At the McLane College of Business, supply chain majors learn the skills needed to be supply chain professionals.

The University offers a bachelor of science (BS) in operations and supply chain management.

In this age of globalization, supply chain management professionals actively operate at the hub of an organization, interacting regularly with all other business segments in the firm, including sales and marketing, finance and human resources, and with suppliers and customers located around the world, thereby ensuring that the desired product/service is available to the customer in the right condition and quantity and at the right time, place, and cost. Efficient performance of this function needs the coordination of sourcing, logistics, production operations, inventory management, and information technology in a cost effective manner. By integrating critical value-added components like manufacturing operations, purchasing, logistics and physical distribution to enhance global competitiveness, the Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM) major at Indiana State University's Scott College of Business provides a solid foundation to individuals seeking a career in the management of today's data-driven global supply chain operations.
