Supply Chain Management - Canadian Context (SCMX) Durham College

Program Description

Crossing borders and spanning oceans, supply chain is a global industry that provides endless opportunities for skilled professionals who can plan, control, execute and optimize a product’s flow from point of origin to point of consumption in the most economical way possible. Each major phase of a product’s movement through the supply chain has its own distinct business process and discipline, and supply chain professionals have the unique knowledge and skillset needed to effectively manage the intricacies of this process. Considered one of the most essential sectors of Canada’s economy, there are currently more than 800,000 supply chain employees (excluding truck drivers) who work in a range of occupations and industries across the sector. Approximately 150,000 of these positions are at the professional or managerial level. The Supply Chain Management – Global – Canadian Context program is a strong choice for students with previous education or experience in business administration or operations and technical and engineering fields. The program will deepen their understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of roles, work processes, transactions and stakeholders within and between supply chains, and the impact supply chain decisions can make on an organization’s financial prosperity.
