When you say "物流", let's assume that you are interested in Logistics. In most schools, logistics is covered by several courses in the field of operations management.
Pure logistics is pure math, including graph theory, linear programming, statistics, optimization, probability model, stochastic methods and etc.
General OM or supply chain management courses, of course, delivers background knowledge and standard industrial operation protocols.
Overall, the philosophy of OM and SCM from both academia and industry is optimization and performance improvement, you should expect to learn and use math tools from both text book and real industry.
Hope that it helps. Good luck with your application.

First of all, OM/SCM/Logistics is usually taught in business school. Industrial Engineering major from an engineering school also covers these topics, but from a different perspective and with lots of math that I guess you won't like.
Let's focus on business school then.
In undergraduate study, besides the general core courses in business that you will need to learn in the first and second year, such as economics, accounting principles, marketing and etc, you will have the option to choose the ones that you are interested. Now we are talking about "物流". You may choose those introductory courses in ""物流"" without too much math.
No matter how you may choose to avoid math, you nevertheless will not be able to escape from certain math methodologies, such as statistics and basic probability theory. Graph theory and linear programming, I am almost certain, is not avoidable as well.
The good thing ... is that you don't need to know these math in depth for undergraduate degree. You won't easily be able to walk away without hard working either.
For master's degree in management, with SCM/OM specialty, courses dedicated in the field of optimization utilizing all kinds of math tools are required in most b-schools.
