Supply chains are experiencing changes driven by the competing pressures of demanding service customers. These changes are taking the shape of more complex operations, which in turn need managers to oversee them. With this program, students will gain the knowledge and skills for an entry level position in supply chain management and be prepared to sit for the Certified Supply Chain Professional exam. *Candidates for the CSCP exam must meet the certificate requirements before sitting for the exam.*
This Supply Chain Manager program, offered by our accredited school partners, introduces the core concepts and components of supply chain management, including supplier evaluation, logistics, inventory management, and other supply chain practices. As the supply chain grows in complexity, and companies increasingly source products and services from a more diverse and global set of suppliers, the job of managing the processes that ensure the steady and reliable flow of components and inputs has never been more difficult. This program explores lean basics and describes the core concepts and central principles practitioners will need to successfully understand and apply Lean strategies to organizational operations. The program provides instructional material that explains the underlying philosophy and theory of effective Lean implementation. Students will then review essential skills for the practice of management in an international business context. We will cover practical applications of management including: setting a mission and vision for the global business enterprise; developing a global business plan; conducting research in an international environment; understanding the nuances of cultural, legal, political, and regulatory differences; and using technology to support global trade as well as practical applications of marketing including: assessing the external environment; performing strengths-weaknesses-opportunities-threats (SWOT) analysis; conducting international market research; developing a marketing plan and budget; determining the global marketing mix (product, price, placement, and promotional strategies); and conducting competitor analysis and practical applications of trade finance including: political and economic risks, foreign exchange tactics and risks, credit and payment risks, optimal terms of payment, arranging financing, and setting the business’s overall financial plan.
