Supply Chain Management Certificate

 

Maximize innovation, dependability, and flexibility!

 

Firms of all kinds are attempting to improve their competitive positions by strategically managing the flow of raw materials, work-in-process inventories and finished goods/services. This certificate is built around the topic of managing the supply chain that plans, sources, makes and delivers an organization’s goods and/or services – from suppliers of raw materials through to the final customer (and sometimes the reverse).

 

Historically, most managers have viewed their primary responsibilities as lying within their own functions – the result has been sub-optimization. Today, the creation of value often requires careful coordination of activities across the boundaries between people, functions, firms and nations.

 

In short, people who learn how to leverage supply chains can obtain speed, innovation, dependability, flexibility, cost and/or quality improvements that go far beyond those potentially realized from solely optimizing internal operations.
