Introduction
You have finally bought the latest PlayStation Portable (PSP). You unwrap it. It is sleek, new and gleaming. Games, music, movies … The PSP seems to be the ultimate in handheld entertainment. And you start to wonder – how did it get here?
The answer? International supply chain management; or the efficient movement of a product or service from the first point, the supplier, to the final point, across the globe to you, the customer.
Our Diploma in International Supply Chain Management (ISCM) trains you as a supply chain specialist in an international business context. The first-ever diploma course of its kind, ISCM is offered by Ngee Ann in response to the emerging manpower needs of the supply chain management industry – especially in freight transportation of goods and services.
Knowing how to deliver the right product to the right place at the right time is crucial. A split second delay in the delivery of products and services globally can result in a loss of millions of dollars. With the knowledge and skills in supply chain management from our ISCM diploma, you will become a highly valued employee.
Improve business margins and market share when you learn about the practical applications of moving products and services from point to point. The three-year course covers the coordination of transport issues across borders, trade agreements, legal and regulatory requirements, taxes, duties, insurance, security, and offshore procurement process from a global perspective. Your area of study includes topics relating to project and event management and cold chain.
A six-month attachment programme with top supply chain companies will enable you to launch exciting careers upon graduation.

With Singapore’s plans to be a premier integrated transport and logistics hub, the supply chain industry is primed for considerable growth.
