Global Logistics and Enterprise Systems I

Logistics is moving the right goods to the right place at the right time for the right price at the right quality. The two-course sequence is designed to build a workforce to capitalize on the projections from the Commonwealth Center of Advanced Logistics Systems (CCALS) to meet the rapidly increasing demand for high-skilled, high-wage supply chain and logistics systems professionals.

This first course in the sequence will introduce students to global logistics in a virtual enterprise systems environment. Topics include navigating logistics management and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems while managing procurement, fulfillment, and warehouse processes. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
