Your Career

Supply chain costs are key to competitiveness in all sectors. In consumer product goods, for instance, supply chain costs represent 32 per cent of the total manufacturing costs in Canada. Rapid developments in supply chain technology and practices are creating great demand for workers with up-to-date skills and knowledge in such diverse industries as consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical products, service businesses, manufacturing, high-tech, automotive, retail, and transportation. Work as an analyst, manager, or specialist in such departments as: purchasing/procurement, warehousing, transportation, production/quality, logistics, international trade, and planning. Graduates often find themselves in middle-management positions within five to seven years of graduation.

Employers of recent Supply Chain Management graduates include Canadian Tire Corporation, UPS, Ford, IBM, HP, Xerox, Suncor, Johnson & Johnson, Walmart, Loblaw, Sobeys, Shoppers Drug Mart, Nestlé, Progistix and Sleep Country Canada.
