Purpose Statement
The Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LSCM) Certificate program provides students with the tools and information required to build a career in one of the fastest-growing and most important professions in today's global economy. Logistics management is the oversight of the movement of goods and materials to and from an organization while supply chain management is the coordination of production, inventory, location, and transportation among the participants in the development of the goods. The six-course program will teach students the fundamental LSCM concepts and terminology. It will explain how to manage a 'green' logistics and supply chain across a 'global' network. The capstone course will help students understand the relationship between three dynamics.
- An organization's overall business strategy intended to deliver customer value,
- Ever-more-rapid technological change, and
- The organizations' LSCM strategy.
