Supply Chain Management

Supply chain managers ask questions such as: Can we go “green” without spending more? How can we improve inventory levels? Can we increase product standardization?

Supply chain management involves the management of materials and information across the entire supply chain.

Detailed course information

Supply chain management was not the major I set out to achieve when I started university. I began in marketing, but realized it didn’t suit my personality. Introverted by nature, and with a passion for numbers, I transferred to accounting. I loved managerial accounting but struggled with financial accounting so I took a chance with supply chain. Supply chain management offered a variety of courses, including creative classes, like contract negotiations and courses like data modelling. The classes let me use my organizational, analytical thinking and creative problem-solving skills. It taught me to learn and think strategically once out in the workplace.
