Supply chain management is the process of moving the right thing to the right place at the right time – and at the right cost. To produce a product a plan needs to be put in place, from procurement, through manufacturing, to delivery. The coordination of these processes is known as the “supply chain”, and is vital to an organization’s competitive advantage. An individual involved in supply chain management is responsible for managing the flow of products through the supply chain from start to finish.
This online program, in partnership with Supply Chain Canada, examines each stage of the supply chain and prepares students with the knowledge and practical skills required for entry-level positions in supply chain management.
