Supply chain outlook
Supply chain is seen as a strategic asset. The post-recession global
marketplace recognizes supply chain management as a key driver of
business success and viability.
Supply chain management is a well-established role in industries beyond
manufacturing, including retail, health care and technology.
Supply chain and operations management jobs are in demand.
250,000 U.S. supply chain jobs will go unfilled annually until 2018 for lack
of qualified talent.*
