BS Supply Chain Management

The predominance of business activity taking place on a global scale has increased the opportunities for integrated supply chain management to have a profound impact on value chain performance. The supply chain encompasses all organizations involved in the production of a good or service and its ultimate delivery to the end consumer. Supply chain managers oversee many varied but inter-related processes including the flows of materials, funds, and information. The scope of a supply chain manager includes all of the following: demand planning, procurement and supplier management, inventory and production operations, transportation and distribution, warehousing, retail sales, customer relationship management, and reverse logistics. Supply chain managers increasingly incorporate sustainability concepts into their decision processes. Students pursuing a supply chain major will develop theoretical, analytical, and software skills designed to prepare them for careers in a variety of fields.
