At the same time, globalization creates a growing need for professionals who can effectively manage complex supply chains.

The study of project and supply chain management emphasizes the integration of manufacturing and service operations, logistics, purchasing, and distribution—the functions that enable organizations to cultivate value-creating supply chain networks.
