International Logistics

TPTM6260

The trend toward an integrated global economy and global competitive arena is forcing companies to design products for the global market and to rationalise their production and distribution activities so as to maximise corporate resources. As a result, logistics in international operations has gained strategic importance. This unit takes a very strategic view of international logistics and deals with logistics from inland origin to final destination covering broad issues of system design and those associated with aspects of international transport, and location and distribution. It takes into account various issues in international operations such as differences in cultures, infrastructure, and transportation systems. The unit integrates concepts with examples of company practices in Australia and elsewhere. This unit does not assume any prior knowledge of logistics on the part of the student. As such, it is useful for students studying International Business/International Law who may wish to gain a strategic overview of the role of logistics in international trade and commerce.
