Overview
Do you like to figure out how to make things better? Would you like to help increase profitability in a company? Then Supply Chain and Operations Management may be for you!
The three-year Business Administration – Supply Chain and Operations Management program prepares graduates for successful careers in the growing, dynamic, and underserviced field of supply chain management. In Canada’s supply chain sector there is a greater demand for skilled graduates than there are graduates available. Our program has a long-standing reputation for providing the skills and knowledge required to play key roles in this rewarding and varied field, where graduates can make decisions that have a global impact.
A supply chain describes the flow of goods, services and information from suppliers to the final customer. In today’s business environment, companies no longer compete against companies; supply chains compete against supply chains. In the program, you will develop the necessary knowledge and skills to manage and coordinate the supply chain activities required to produce and deliver all the goods and services we use every day.
The central theme of this program is continuous improvement, a key element in being competitive in a global market. As a graduate of the program, you will receive a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certificate, endorsed by High Performance Solutions Inc. This program is also fully accredited by the Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council (CSCSC).
This program also takes a hands-on, project-oriented approach and provides opportunities to work with current business and industry partners. Instructors are experts in their disciplines, often using an interactive approach to enrich the learning environment. This approach benefits our graduates, and improve their employment prospects in public and private sector organizations in areas such as purchasing, logistics, project management, distribution, planning, scheduling, systems implementation and many more.
Partnerships with professional associations including Supply Chain Canada (SCC), Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM), Ontario Public Buyers Association (OPBA) and Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation (CITT) will provide you with opportunities to network with professionals. You can achieve the ASCM CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory Management) professional designation while at school.
Note: First-year students meeting specific performance criteria may be eligible for the co-op option.
