The rapid growth of the Chinese automotive industry in recent years has made China the world’s largest automotive market now even ahead of the US, and has created a heightened interest for global car manufacturers, all of which have a presence in the country.

Effective and efficient supply chain management has become a critical success factor to ensure low cost, reliable delivery and high quality. But the challenges in China are numerous, such as infrastructural and cultural barriers, and a lack of transparency and accurate information, just to name a few. Also the globalization of supply chains has dramatically increased the competency requirements of professionals working in the field.

As supply chain management is a critical top management issue, having highly qualified professionals in the field is a necessity to remain competitive in the future. The automotive industry is here not an exception, where a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills are necessary to be an effective supply chain manager. The aim of our program is to develop a new generation automotive supply chain managers that can effectively compete in the challenging environment of the future.
