Many of today's most successful firms attribute their success to a strategically managed global supply chain. The complexities of coordinating and collaborating within a global network of designers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers grow as businesses seek to attain a competitive advantage through carefully formulated strategies for managing flows in physical, informational and financial channels.

SCM stands for 'Supply Chain Management' and is the process of ensuring that products are produced and delivered quickly and efficiently.

  • Drives coordination of processes and activities with and across marketing, sales, product design, manufacturing, finance and information technology.
  • Encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all Logistics Management activities.
  • Includes coordination and collaboration with channel partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, third-party service providers, and customers.
  • Integrates supply and demand management within and across companies.
  • Responsible for linking major business functions and business processes within and across companies into a cohesive and high-performing business model.

The Global Supply Chain Management Initiative gives current and future managers the opportunity to be on the forefront of emerging ideas and technologies that promise to provide a differentiating advantage to businesses in the future.

This initiative offers a broad-based, global approach to taking your business skills global through a variety of programs.
