Understanding the mechanics of the logistics chain has never been more critical than at a time when pressure on cost and efficiency is at a premium. Managing freight transport on a global basis, even in a downturn, combines specialist knowledge with an understanding of a broad range of disciplines. The IBC Global Academy is offering two courses on these critical functions, both delivered entirely by distance learning. The Diploma in Logistics Management 2009-2010 runs for 12 months, commencing August 25, 2009, featuring 11 modules covering core topics and practical requirements for planning, implementing and controlling the flow of goods and services globally.
