Online Logistics Degree and Supply Chain Management Certification
We know how busy you are. This program offers the ultimate in flexibility for working people. Learn logistics from anywhere and at anytime.

The accreditations are primarily designed for those already working in logistics or business, who want to gain a better understanding of what logistics is and how it can provide a competitive edge to their organization.

Build on your current knowledge to work and move forward in your career! These courses have been designed in consultation with logistics and supply chain leaders from Celestica, Intelli Trade, Apotex, The LCBO, Canadian Tire, CBSA, Excel/SCM/Tibbett & Britten, Tompkins Associates, Wheels International and SCL Canada and are based on current industry needs.

First, a series of six logistics courses are offered, with each course lasting seven weeks. These courses form a comprehensive logistics program. The Program covers the following:

The Logistics Management Certificate		The following six courses provide an excellent foundation in logistics management:
1) Logistics Fundamentals		When anything moves, there’s a cost. If it isn’t moving, there’s another cost. Optimizing product/information logistics is arguably the biggest opportunity in business today. This course teaches how any organization can reduce costs and improve customer service.
2) Inventory Management		Inventory is a necessary evil. Managing it allows companies to access working capital and realize bigger profits. This course uncovers the huge potential of inventory management in controlling costs.
3) Transportation		This course examines the five modes of transportation, costs and pricing in transportation, and how to choose the best mode and carrier for a shipment.
4) Warehousing		The modern warehouse needs the right material handling equipment, storage conditions and information systems to operate efficiently and maintain quality. Setting appropriate warehouse management metrics enhances customer service and reduces costs.
5) Importing and Exporting		Globalization makes import/export document preparation and planning an essential part of a well rounded logistics education. This course provides a solid understanding of how to conduct business across borders.
6) Supply Chain Management: the Basics		A supply chain utilizes core competencies to bring products and related information from raw materials to final consumer at the lowest total cost. Logisticians are at the hub of information sharing and are central to capturing the competitive advantages that result.

And, at a more advanced level, four additional courses in supply chain management are offered for a certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Management. These cover supply chain technology, integration & globalization strategies and tactics to improve organizational competitiveness:

The Supply Chain Management Certificate		The following four courses provide a comprehensive supply management foundation to complement your logistics certification:
1) The Integrated Supply Chain		Effective inter-organizational relationships are needed to efficiently manage the flow of materials and information between members of the supply chain. This course looks at the dynamics and conflicting objectives of partnerships, and shows how to build relationships that provide a sustainable competitive advantage.
2) Purchasing for the Supply Chain		Purchasing involves much more than negotiating the lowest price. Partners who provide higher quality, shorter cycle times, and access to new technology deliver greater value and a lower total cost.
3) Technology for Supply Chain Management		The seamless flow of information is as important in meeting customer expectations in a modern organization as is the flow of goods. Students will interact with applications, utilize current case studies, and learn the central role that technology plays in Supply Chain Management.
4) The Global Supply Chain		Global opportunities abound. International business, law, and logistics are the current business focus. Advanced understanding of the flow of products and information among nations, cultures and regulatory regimes are a strategic necessity.
The Logistics Management Diploma		Finally, a Diploma in Logistics Management includes nine more courses and provides the recipient with the equivalent of a full-time two year accreditation without ever having to set foot in a school. The ultimate in flexible, online and interactive logistics training.
