Logistics Management

ATU Ozark | Logistics Management

Logistic Managers analyze and coordinate an organization’s supply chain – the system that moves a product from supplier to consumer. They manage the entire life cycle of a product, which includes how a product is acquired, distributed, allocated, and delivered. Logistics are used in nearly every industry.
