The development of the Master of Logistics Study Program is the result of the growth of the Industrial Engineering Study Program in order to answer the needs in the logistics field in Indonesia. Considering the developments of the global (international) higher education as well as national needs for an effective and efficient logistics system, and also supported by the availability of expertise and existing facilities/laboratories, a Preparation Team was formed for the Master of Logistics Study Program (with chairman Prof. Dr. Ir. Senator Nur Bahagia).

The existence of the Master of Logistics program is intended to answer national industry needs and expected to produce graduates with ready-to-use skill competencies to solve problems, knowledge to design, analyze, implement and improve the logistics system, and the ability to carry out managerial functions in coordinating the resources needed in a logistics system. This program is not only needed by the business community and the logistics services industry but also the government as a regulator.
