Logistics industry has seen a tremendous growth: in 1995, the supply chain activities contributed to 35 per cent of GDP of Canada. Organizations are compelled to seek individuals with sound knowledge of logistics functions and decision making capabilities to manage the flow of materials and information across the supply chain. The Logistics Certificate helps you prepare for the challenges of integrated logistics management by providing theoretical and practical approaches to operations management, purchasing, distribution, decision analysis, systems thinking, and supply chain management.
