The Master’s Program in Logistics at PUC-Rio (MPL) has the mission of “Training highly qualified masters in the area of Logistics, capable of generating innovative technological products and research of high impact and relevance to meet the demands of society and companies. ”The vision of the program is to “Be recognized as an excellent postgraduate program in Logistics that trains socially responsible individuals and organizations and leaders in the development of innovative technological products.” Implemented by the Department of Industrial Engineering (DEI), the MPL has a single area of concentration, Transport and Logistics Systems, with two lines of research within Production Engineering, a basic and traditional area of Engineering III at CAPES:
“Transportation and Logistics Systems Planning”;
“Programming and control of Transport and Logistics Systems”.

Objectiv´s
The Postgraduate Program in Professional Master’s in Logistics (MPL) at DEI/PUC-Rio aims to provide high-level training in logistics, training its students in the basic concepts of logistics and supply chain management, both in methods qualitative and quantitative, as an instrument for planning and designing, operationalizing and controlling logistics systems, aiming to train human resources with the ability to propose and apply new methodologies and innovations in the area of Logistics and supply chain.
The Program is based on the following premises:
a) the training of qualified human resources capable of promoting innovations in the productive sector, presupposing the development of perception, analysis and creation skills;
b) the academic excellence of research in Production Engineering, which requires comprehensive consideration of the reality of the system to which it refers;
c) carrying out research in close contact with the productive sector, seeking to contribute positively to society as a whole.
These reasons lead the program to stimulate research in direct collaboration with public and private productive organizations in Brazil and abroad, its partners in research and extension projects, allowing academic investigation to cover a wide spectrum of problems, which includes identification of new problems and opportunities for improvement, the application of innovative techniques, the development of new solutions and the evaluation of results. The projects count on the collaboration of professors and students from several universities and research institutions in Brazil and abroad.
Historic
The Professional Master’s in Logistics was created in 2001, meeting a growing demand for professionals with technical training to work in logistics management, having trained more than 300 masters since its creation. The subject syllabi and programs undergo constant updates, including the use of industry 4.0 technologies, such as cloud computing, internet of things, blockchain and artificial intelligence, which constitute the basis of Logistics 4.0.
Financial support
Due to the self-financing nature of the Professional Master’s in Logistics and Supply Chain, there is no financial viability for granting scholarships. Students must pay semester fees. Some companies and government institutions have agreements with PUC-Rio covering the payment of their employees’ semi-annual payments.
