Overview

The Business Administration – Supply Chain and Operations Management Advanced Diploma will prepare you with the necessary skills to effectively and efficiently run a business. One of the most interactive aspects of this Business School program will involve learning to integrate manual and computer-based systems, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, as they relate to supply chain management activities.

During the three years of study, you will acquire the expertise to improve productivity, develop a master production schedule using materials requirements planning (MRP), balance supply and demand, construct a detailed project management plan, and develop and implement quality management programs.

Other areas of curriculum coverage include, but are not limited to:

  • Purchasing and inventory management;
  • Supply chain and logistics management;
  • Operations planning;
  • Direct supervision and quality assurance;
  • Analysis of operations processes to identify productivity improvements;
  • Application of business process re-engineering (BPR) techniques to simplify and streamline organizational processes;
  • Planning and designing quality improvement programs;
  • Applying team approach principles to analyze and recommend solutions to operations problems effectively.

Co-op Option

The co-op option will allow you to gain hands-on experience while you complete two co-op work terms as an employee in the field. This experience not only allows you to put classroom learning into practice but will also provide valuable contacts for your future career.

To participate in this co-op option, you must complete an application process in the second semester. If academically qualified, you may be admitted to the co-op program.

When you graduate, your diploma will highlight the co-op credential.
