Supply chains are the central nervous system of a global economy. Effective supply chain leadership and management are keys to success in today’s competitive environment. Michigan’s Supply Chain Management program provides a structured exploration of successful supply chain strategies and practices and methods for implementing them in an organization. Participants explore frameworks for supply chain design and execution and learn concepts in supply chain visibility, supply chain coordination, performance metrics, inventory control and distribution management. The program includes hands-on simulations to teach participants how to diagnose ’real-world’ supply chain issues and identify improvements.

The program leverages innovative teaching materials from the Ross School’s Masters in Supply Chain Management degree as well as hundreds of innovative action-based learning projects Michigan has conducted in partnership with leading corporations around the world.

The efficient movement of goods around the world takes place through an increasingly high-tech, sophisticated multi-modal process. Having skilled professionals in the supply chain management field in the Pacific Northwest is critical since one out of three jobs in Washington state is dependent upon international trade and Seattle-Tacoma shipping hub is one of the three largest hubs in North America.

Program participants gain preparation for careers in exciting, growing fields where effective global trade, transportation and logistics practices are paramount to career and organizational success. Particular attention is given to the study of activities involved in the flow of goods from point of origin to point of consumption on a global scale. A range of issues are addressed, including:

management of intermodal connections among maritime, aviation and overland modes of transport
environmental and energy concerns
advancements in telecommunications; and
legal, regulatory and technological infrastructures that facilitate global commerce and transportation.
This program works with leaders in business and government organizations to develop internships and job opportunities. Participants take courses with graduate students primarily in business and engineering fields offered through the Global Trade, Transportation and Logistics Studies Program at the University of Washington.

This course is about managing the flow of products from origin through transformation (i.e. procurement, production and distribution) to delivery to the ultimate user. The supply chain management process is directly linked to e-commerce, as it is the biggest commercial user of internet services. The course is designed to be strategic in orientation, emphasizing the framework of the supply chain and the context of management decisions. It also emphasizes quantitative methods in supply chain managements. Topics include make or buy decisions, selection and evaluation of suppliers, inventory management, resource planning for production, selection of distribution channels, and managing relationships up and down the supply chain.
