With your degree, you can focus your career on any of these three areas:
Purchasing and procurement professionals analyze and identify sources of materials, evaluate and select suppliers, negotiate contracts, place orders, acquire materials and manage costs. During disruptions in the supply chain, these positions are highly sought by companies across different industries.
Production and operations professionals work on various tasks, such as product and service design, location planning, facility layout, demand forecasting, capacity planning, production scheduling, inventory management, quality control and project management. There is a wide variety of jobs related to this area in any industry.
Transportation and logistics professionals are responsible for handling materials, order picking, packaging, warehousing management, carrier selection, product and service delivery, and product and service recovery. This is the area of supply chain management that is the easiest to recognize, but it represents only a portion of the supply chain jobs in the market.
