Overview of the Programme

Delivering products and services at the right time, right place, right cost, and at the right quantity and quality is at the heart of logistics and supply chain management and in the retail sector, perfect order deliveries, customer responsiveness and cost efficiency are key competitive priorities.
Every retail organisation has a supply chain, so this is an area where there are multiple opportunities for employment.

‘In a recent Forbes article, it was estimated that 37% of all jobs are situated within the supply chain,’ explains Scott Parfitt, senior lecturer on the BSc Logistics, Procurement and Supply Chain Management course at the University of South Wales. ‘Moreover, a survey from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals stated that approximately 64% of companies are experiencing a supply chain talent gap.’

‘Supply chains design, manufacture and deliver every product we consume, from the mobile phone in your pocket, to the clothes you’re wearing and food on your plate. 

The course considers international trends in supply chain and is designed to meet the industry need for purchasing, supply chain and operations managers in all sectors.

The BCom Logistics & Supply Chain Management course emphasizes on the application of the concepts of BCom in the effective and efficient planning strategies included in the management, maintenance, and transport of goods to maintain consistent business. It covers topics like production, transfer, shipment, transit, and delivery of goods. It is theory-based and covers important topics like strategy design, resource management, process execution, compliance, business forecast, and market monitoring and analysis. The continuous supply requires continuous transfer to different regions to maintain consistency. Hence, there is a need for trained candidates in the management of Transport and Logistics. Candidates will have diverse knowledge about the characteristics and policies of planning, coordination, transport, and finance after successful completion of the course.

Skills like verbal communication, negotiation, project management, logical reasoning, critical analysis, work under pressure, leadership, teamwork, decision-making, and entrepreneurship are enhanced through this course.
