Supply chain management is a rapidly growing and evolving area of employment being shaped by technology, international competition and other global factors. If resources – people, money, machinery, facilities, material and information – are to be utilized wisely, supply chain management personnel must be familiar with computer technology, quantitative methods, and planning and problem-solving techniques useful in analyzing business systems. Excellent communication skills are also critical, as they interact with people at all levels of an organization.
