M.Sc.(Eng) in Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management Programme Objectives The aim of the programme is to offer advanced postgraduate education in industrial engineering and logistics management to graduates who are holding managerial, supervisory or administrative positions in Hong Kong's industrial and service sectors. The programme is designed to enable students to acquire state-of-the-art knowledge in operations management, logistics and supply chain management, organizational theory and behaviour, costing and finance, quality management, information technology, and other related topics. In line with Hong Kong's economic transformation, the syllabus of the programme has been revised over the years to include a significant number of new courses relating to the new and exciting fields of logistics and supply chain management. Industrial managers are the architects for the design of "operating systems" in organizations, both private and public, that are concerned with providing value to customers. Industrial managers are also responsible for effectively managing the operations of these organizations. The complexities of modern operations have increased greatly, both in terms of breadth and depth. An industrial manager now needs to be concerned with supply chain issues in a global perspective. The management of technology and knowledge has also taken on a more significant role in the growth and profitability of an organization, and has become the most critical resources in gaining a competitive advantage. Industrial managers are amongst the most important people in an organization as they contribute to the long-term competitiveness of the organization in a tangible and direct way. While many business opportunities are presented to Hong Kong by the closer economic partnership with South China, a company can prosper only if it has the right business vision combined with the necessary competence. The emphasis of this MSc(Eng) programme is on the strategic and logistics aspects that will help organizations achieve this vision and competence.
