Eight semesters, beginning in September, plus one paid work term.
Supply chain refers to the entire network of companies that work together to design, produce, deliver and service products. Supply chain management involves the co-ordination of a wide range of business processes – such as marketing, forecasting, demand management, production planning, packaging, warehousing, transportation, purchasing, inventory, distribution, and customer relationship management – to achieve organizational goals and deliver customer satisfaction.
Humber's Bachelor of Commerce – Supply Chain Management degree is a four-year program that prepares graduates for a career in the specialized field of supply chain management across a wide array of industries, by providing a solid grounding in both business and supply chain skills. Its aim is to enhance and develop students' competence and intellect to succeed in a highly competitive global industry.
Introductory courses in the first two years of the program such as marketing, accounting, economics and law provide a fundamental understanding of traditional business functions and their supporting processes. In years three and four you'll focus on the application of theories, methods and techniques in various aspects of problem solving and developing supply chain management strategies.
Humber's faculty is widely known for their industry connections and ability to bring their experience and real-world knowledge to the classroom. You'll learn from supply chain specialists who use applied projects and case studies to help you develop your analytical skills while learning core business concepts and financial strategies.
The project-based curriculum, designed by industry advisors, provides students with opportunities to take processes from idea to execution. A senior-level business project in the last year of the program allows you to problem solve in a real-world, team-based environment. As you develop your business/supply chain strategies, you'll be required to assess traditional and new approaches to solving your issue, evaluate the strengths and limitations of each approach, gather and synthesize research data, and make appropriate decisions. All projects integrate material covered in class. The curriculum consists of general business courses, which present the common body of business knowledge, specialized courses that present the core supply chain body of knowledge, and a strong breadth component. Overall, the program emphasizes critical thinking, analytical skills, communications and leadership.
Supply chain management is increasingly important to companies in a competitive market across a variety of sectors. In consumer product goods, for example, supply chain costs represent more than one-third of the total manufacturing costs in Canada.
Rapid developments in supply chain technology and practices are creating great demand for managers with broader and deeper skills and knowledge in industries including consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical products, service businesses, manufacturing, high-tech, automotive, retail, and transportation.
Humber's Bachelor of Commerce – Supply Chain Management graduates may find work as an analyst, buyer, sales forecaster, production planner, logistics specialist, order manager, or specialist in purchasing/procurement, warehousing, transportation, production/quality, logistics and planning. Graduates will have the potential to be promoted to middle-management positions within five to 10 years of graduation. You may also choose to pursue graduate studies in the same or a related field.
