Graduate Diploma in Supply Chain Logistics

Waikato Institute of Technology

Supply Chain Logistics explores how to recognise, analyse and solve global logistics and supply chain issues. This moves beyond the logistics of production & engineering into the broader range of activities that effectively links suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers to end-users. This programme is for those with a degree in another subject who want to progress into supply chain and logistical management positions. This programme includes a work placement and research project. Core studies include learning how to identify important phases of supply chain and logistical management from internal and external perspectives evaluating and critiquing existing operations identifying supply chain and logistical issues, and creating effective and sustainable management solutions. Other relevant topics include project management, operations management and e-commerce in relation to supply chain logistics. The final module – BIBM788 Professional Project – includes a work placement and research project, bringing together all that has been learnt in the classroom.​​​ This is a great experience, where students get the opportunity to showcase their skills and talents and build networks and business relationships that can lead to job opportunities.
