As you embark upon upgrading your logistics skills and knowledge through distance learning, it is important to note that such programs also have limitations. Online short courses in many cases are not a true substititute for full educational credentials in given logistics and supply chain management disciplines nor in many cases are they meant to be. These mini courses fill a huge void in the logistics education spectrum and will in our view only grow faster and further as users become more familiar and comfortable with online education and additional courses are developed to cover every aspect of the widening knowledge base which is required to fully understand logistics and manage supply chains which continue to grow in both scope and complexity. A review of the courses and related articles organized below will assist you in engaging in distance learning in logistics.
