Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management integrates supply and demand management functions within and across companies. Over the past few decades, supply chains have risen in prominence within many companies. This has created a growing need for individuals who can contribute to various parts of the supply chain by means of specializations obtained as part of their education. The ability to stand out in the marketplace has become more acute in view of an economy in which jobs are scarce. Consequently, in all the courses, we emphasize examples from industry and use them to provide illustrations of the concepts in practice. The concentration provides a practical understanding of the principles of supply chain management and helps students develop an understanding of both analytic and technical methods which can be applied to optimize these systems.
Students should take 6 credits from the concentration core and at least 6 credits from the elective areas.
