Cranfield Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management (CLSCM)
The Cranfield Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management (CLSCM) based in the Cranfield School of Management, provides an international focal point for advanced teaching and research in the field of logistics, supply chain management and transportation management.
CLSCM has grown up with twin beliefs:
- that logistics has increasingly become a dominant activity in the development of the modern world and in our twentieth century way of life
- that effective management of the total supply chain is an essential ingredient for business success as the global market place becomes a reality.
A key feature of CLSCM's work is its increasingly global scope. Much of its work has an international dimension and this is reflected in its established links with leading centres in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
For over twenty years Cranfield University has had a major involvement in the development of knowledge in logistics and transportation. It has come to be recognised as Europe's leading centre for advanced research and teaching in these important fields. Many thousands of managers have attended the programmes and workshops led by Cranfield faculty.
CLSCM is Europe's largest grouping of faculty specialising in the management of logistics and transportation. As a major centre of excellence, CLSCM provides a resource which encompasses taught programmes for graduates and executives, research and development capabilities and a continuing commitment to the dissemination of ideas and knowledge through publications and symposia.
The Centre offers a number of programmes, short courses and research opportunities in logistics, distribution and transportation. These include:
