About Course

As a key logistics hub in Southeast Asia and globally, Singapore plays a vital role in global supply chain networks. 

In 2019, the logistics industry contributed S$6.8 billion in value-add and employed over 86,000 workers across more than 5,300 companies (MOM, Oct 2020), making it a cornerstone of the national economy.

However, the sector is undergoing significant transformation. Global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and rising security risks, have highlighted the urgent need for more agile, resilient, and digitally enabled supply chains. To stay competitive, organisations must strengthen logistics capabilities and tap into talent with diverse skills and experience.

This programme provides a solid foundation in digital supply chain management, covering design, planning, and operations. Learners will examine how information, materials, and services move across sectors, using data-driven insights and digital tools to boost efficiency, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction. They will explore key drivers of supply chain performance and apply their knowledge through a real-world project with a local company. Case studies from industries such as food, electronics, retail, and e-commerce will further enrich the learning experience.

By the end of the programme, learners will be equipped with practical tools and strategies to navigate the evolving logistics landscape, contribute to digital transformation, and drive business resilience.
