Operations and Supply Chain Management Minor

In today’s global marketplace, multi-echelon supply chains span the globe. The fusion of online and offline channels has given rise to omni-channel strategies adopted by major companies, which creates high demand for analysts and professionals in procurement, distribution, process improvement, logistics, and supply chain management. The Metro DC region with its enormous federal government footprint and related supply chain/logistics providers, demands professionals with supply chain management skills; even in those who may not be majoring in that area. Students with an OSCM Minor will learn how to efficiently and effectively manage the activities involved in transforming organizational resources into customer value. They will be able to provide innovative value-added solutions in the areas of process improvement, quality management, project management, supply chain analytics, and global supply chain design, coordination and implementation.
