Operations and Supply Chain Management

Someone, somewhere in every business has to be in charge of getting everything done in a timely, cost-effective, and efficient manner. Purchasing, inventory, production, and delivery are all areas within Operations and Supply Chain Management. So are quality control, storage, and continuous quality improvement.

Operations and Supply Chain Management is in our DNA. Our school was founded by Herman Krannert because he needed employees who not only had specific expertise, but also a complete understanding of how business works. That spirit continues today. Your education will focus on how business works through courses in logistics, project management, strategic sourcing, and advanced spreadsheet modeling & simulation.

Krannert’s analytic outlook, robust curriculum and distinguished professors make operations a top ranked program. Beyond the classroom, the Global Supply Chain Management Initiative offers student’s the opportunity to be on the forefront of emerging ideas and technologies that promise to provide a differentiating advantage to businesses in the future.
