And so, people wanting to enhance their knowledge about logistics or engage in supply chain training have to find online methods to meet these goals. With that in mind, here are some supply chain educational resources that you can find online. Let's dive right in!   [![Free downloadable resources button](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5538017/ca200d25-c8e7-48c1-8b90-6fac508e8d3f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5538017/ca200d25-c8e7-48c1-8b90-6fac508e8d3f)   ## 7 Educational Resources for Supply Chain & Logistics Professionals   ### Logistics and Supply Chain Management Open Course from MIT The esteemed Massachusetts Institute of Technology provides this open course for people wanting to enhance their supply chain management knowledge. This [free supply chain educational resource](https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/engineering-systems-division/esd-273j-logistics-and-supply-chain-management-fall-2009/) focuses on planning models for production and inventory distribution strategies, particularly on vehicle routing problems, dynamic lot sizing, pricing models, and other problems. It features a syllabus, readings, and even assignments; it is an excellent supply chain educational resource for people with some extra time on their hands.   ### Beyond Lean: Simulation in Practice Open Textbook Textbooks are excellent supply chain educational resources; however, they can be pretty pricy in nature, which deters many people from turning to them. However, there is an increasing push to make texts publicly available to share knowledge. One such textbook that is a great supply chain educational resource is Dr. Charles Standridge’s [Beyond Lean: Simulation in Practice](https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/beyond-lean-simulation-in-practice-second-edition), an open-source textbook that looks at the application of lean processes and protocols concerning numerous aspects of supply chain management such as inventory management, integrated supply systems, and distribution centers.   ![educational resources for supply chain logistics professionals](https://blog.shiperp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/educational%20resources%20for%20supply%20chain%20logistics%20professionals.jpg?width=700&name=educational%20resources%20for%20supply%20chain%20logistics%20professionals.jpg)   ### Inbound Logistics Supply chain management and logistics require a good foundation of knowledge; however, staying relevant is also incredibly important as the discipline evolves quickly with advances in technology.
