Business Administration Supply Chain Management Emphasis Supply chain management, as an area of emphasis, allows students to focus their education on the "supply chain" of purchasing, producing, moving, and marketing goods and services on a global basis. The supply chain management major learns how to plan and manage a firm's operations 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 supply chain management graduates in a wide variety of employment opportunities with above-average salaries with such firms as Kimberly Clark, Ford Motor Company, Toyota, Hospital Corporation of America, Northrop Grumman, Wal-Mart, J. C Penney Company, UPS, Autoliv, and the U.S. Air Force. We are also noting that career paths to senior executive positions in large corporations are increasingly mandating education or experience in operations and supply chain management. Professional associations and area companies make several scholarships available each year exclusively to supply chain management majors at Weber State University.
