Most organizations realize that they cannot achieve long-term success if they were to focus on their internal processes only. Thus, an essential feature of SCM is the management of relationships among organizations; which typically have different cultures, goals and strategies. The SCM specialization trains students to manage processes and complex relationships among organizations. Areas covered within this major include planning and design for supply chains (SC), production processes, SC risks, procurement in the traditional and global contexts, distribution in SC and deployment of information technology to facilitate SC operations.

Specific offerings for each semester may be found in the Schedule of Classes.
