The Master's Degree that meets the needs of the Logistics Sector

According to UNO's latest logistics report, the sector in the Region of Murcia faces a number of challenges, such as a lack of trained professionals, transport optimisation and adaptation to new technologies. One of the main challenges mentioned in the report is the shortage of trained professionals in logistics management. Only 25% have a university degree, and a large investment in human capital is needed to improve the transport sector. In this article we explain how ENAE' s Master's Degree in Logistics and Operations Management offers key solutions to improve the competitiveness and performance of companies in the sector in our region.
 

Supply Chain Management and its digital transformation

ENAE's master's degree focuses on training experts in supply chain management, a key aspect for logistics companies to optimise their production processes, distribution, logistics services and delivery to the end customer.
 

Another of the current challenges facing the logistics sector is digital transformation. ENAE's master's degree teaches how to apply artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies to automate key processes in the evolution of the sector. This includes the use of management systems that allow logistics operators and logistics centres to coordinate their operations more efficiently.
 

With digitalisation, decision-making is improved, from warehouse management to international transport control, contributing to sustainable mobility and cost reduction throughout the logistics chain.
 

Transport solutions: land, maritime, air and rail transport

The Region of Murcia, as part of the Mediterranean Corridor, faces challenges related to transport and logistics, especially in terms of route optimisation and cost reduction. ENAE's master's degree prepares students to manage the different modes of land transport, maritime transport, air transport, and rail transport, adapting their strategies to local needs and global trends.
 

Modules of the Master's Degree such as National and International Transport Management allow companies in the sector to hire highly qualified personnel in this field and to compete in the global trends of the logistics industry, taking advantage of the resources offered by international transport and improving delivery times for foreign trade.
 

Human resource management and industry leadership

The lack of professionals is a major barrier to the evolution of the logistics sector in the region. The master's degree includes specific modules on human resource management, which is key to attracting and retaining specialised talent. It also fosters the development of leaders capable of making strategic decisions, both in international logistics and in local markets.
 

ENAE Business School Logistics graduates are prepared to manage teams in large-scale logistics companies at a national level, coordinating operations in logistics platforms and shopping centres.
 

Sustainability, environmental impact reduction and reverse logistics

Commitment to the environment and the transition towards a net zero economy are key issues in the sector. The Master's programme includes strategies to implement sustainable mobility, optimise energy consumption and reduce emissions throughout the supply chain.
 

This approach not only contributes to sustainability, but also enhances the reputation of logistics companies, making them more competitive in a market that increasingly values environmental commitment.
 

In addition, emphasis is placed on reverse logistics, a vital element for sustainability in a net zero economy. By optimising the management of returns, recycling, transport and storage of products, firms between shopping centres and retail parks in the Region of Murcia can minimise their environmental impact and improve operational efficiency.

From training in supply chain management to the implementation of digital technologies and sustainable management, this master's degree prepares professionals to face the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities in a constantly evolving sector in the Region.
