Global Supply Chain ManagementGraduate Certificate

What’s driving every aspect of this field? Data. And how to analyze it.

Data-driven supply chain management, also known as supply chain analytics, is the only way to manage the ever-expanding global reality confronting us today — that e-commerce is leaving brick and mortar businesses in the dust and requires an entirely new set of skills to keep the links in the supply chain in good working order.
