FAQs: Bachelor’s Degree Specialization in Global Supply Chain Management

We think so! Supply chain management (SCM) is an operational component of any manufacturing company. With today’s manufacturers adopting a range of sophisticated data analytics to achieve lean supply chains and gain a competitive edge, a Specialization in Global Supply Chain Management is a good choice for anyone wanting to pursue a career in the manufacturing and distribution of goods in a global business environment.  

The benefits of a robust SCM strategy include better collaboration with suppliers, improved quality control, optimized shipping, reduced inventory and overhead costs and stronger cash flow. Effective SCM is crucial to any manufacturing company to maximize production efficiencies and reduce waste, which can improve profitability, and to build resilience against supply chain challenges and disruptions caused by severe weather, labor disputes or other negative conditions.

To build your skills in global SCM, start by advancing your education with a program such as our Bachelor’s Degree Program with a Specialization in Global Supply Chain Management. Our curriculum includes courses such as:

  • Managing Operations Across the Supply Chain

  • Supply Chain Management Decision Support Tools and Applications

  • Total Quality Management

  • Strategic Supply and Master Planning

  • Supply Chain Logistics, Distribution and Warehousing

  • Supply Chain Procurement Management and Sourcing Strategy

  • Global Issues in Supply Chain Management 

Manufacturers will approach SCM differently based on their individual goals, developing best practices in its basic components, which include planning, sourcing, making, delivering and returning. Several different supply chain models, each focusing on either efficiency or responsiveness, have unique characteristics that support a company’s goals. Here at DeVry, our Global Supply Chain Management coursework helps you dive into these topics and learn more about industry best practices.
