Course description
The Master of Supply Chain Innovation uniquely combines key elements of supply chain management, innovation and business information systems to enable graduates to improve today’s supply chains and to equip them for the changing needs of the industry.
As competition continues between global supply chains in response to customer demand volatility and increasing customer expectations, supply chain managers need to be increasingly innovative in order to gain competitive advantage. Having appropriately skilled people, who are equipped to make the right decisions, is essential. This course is designed to assist students to transition into strategic management roles.
The course includes innovation, design thinking, supply chain management, logistics, lean six sigma methodologies and big data analytics. It has a strong focus on business improvement and is designed to equip students with the capacity to apply innovative thinking to supply chain networks.
The Master of Supply Chain Innovation forms the final stage in a three-stage nested suite of programs consisting of:
- Graduate Certificate of Supply Chain Innovation (GC-SCI) (GC-SCI)
- Graduate Diploma of Supply Chain Innovation (GD-SCI) ^
- Master of Supply Chain Innovation (MA-SCI) or
- Master of Supply Chain Innovation (Advanced) (MA-SCIADV)
^ Students are unable to enrol directly into the Graduate Diploma of Supply Chain Innovation but it is available as an exit award.
This course is for working professionals. That’s why we offer it in Intensive Mode. It’s an efficient and faster way to complete a postgraduate qualification with minimal impact on your professional and personal life. Units (subjects) are either delivered after work hours or on Fridays or Saturdays, and run throughout the year in six week teaching periods instead of the usual 12 week semesters. This means you can complete more units and graduate faster, or take breaks when you need to.
