The logistics and operations management major learns how to plan and manage a firms production processes as well as the logistics of selecting suppliers, moving materials into a firm, and distributing finished product to customers. The discipline involves industrial purchasing, inventory management, production planning and control, quality management, transportation, and distribution management. The growing recognition by industry of the value of more effective and efficient management of the supply chain has intensified demand for persons with formal education in this area. Weber State has enjoyed considerable success in placing logistics and operations management graduates in a wide variety of employment opportunities with above-average salaries with such firms as Ford Motor Company, Kimberly Clark, Emerson Electric, TRW, Wal-Mart, J.C. Penny, Emery Worldwide, and Autoliv. We are also noting that career paths to senior executive positions in large corporations are increasingly mandating education or experience in operations and logistics. Professional logistics associations make three scholarships available each year exclusively to logistics and operations management majors at Weber State University.
