Supply Chain Management is the coordination and integration of end-to-end business activities:

  • procuring materials and services
  • transforming them into products or services that respond to market demands
  • and delivering them to customers

Success requires developing relationships with partners, managing flows of information and materials, and having keen insight into cash flow and profitability. Increased competitive pressures, the global environment, sophisticated customers, fast-changing markets, and technological innovations influence organizations to explore their interactions with trading partners for sources of competitive distinction. No matter how a company chooses to satisfy its customers and achieve financial objectives, the supply chain is a potent strategic resource to help it deliver more value, lower costs and more agile responses in the face of steady change. Opportunities are numerous, varied and global; and forecasters are expecting rapid employment increases.

Bloomsburg University's SCM program is designed using competency models from leading professional organizations. Recognizing the interdisciplinary nature of SCM, the program draws expertise from all business disciplines — accounting, finance, information technology management, management, and marketing — and integrates content through collaborative course design and delivery.
