WATERLOO — In response to the increased global demand for outsourcing,
Laurier’s School of Business and Economics will introduce the first Canadian
Master of Science program that focuses exclusively on Supply Chain Management
(SCM) in September 2008.
Recognized as a pioneer in the Canadian SCM
field, Laurier’s business school was a natural fit for the new program
because it has the largest group of SCM experts in Canada. The program
will also benefit from the school’s association with the Centre for Supply Chain
Management, which was awarded the Oracle / SCL Innovation Award by Supply Chain
& Logistics Canada in recognition of outstanding vision, leadership and
innovation in 2005.
SCM involves the study of product or
information flow from the point of origin to the point of customer.
Typically relevant to the consumer package goods and energy industries, SCM can
also involve the study of large-scale transportation management systems.
Graduates of the new master’s program will use rigorous
analytical and decision-making skills and techniques to help
organizations design and coordinate the flow of goods and information through
supply chains. The Laurier program will provide the needed expertise and
enhance the career prospects of its graduates.
“We are proud to
introduce this degree to our growing roster of graduate programs at Laurier, as
it is an important step forward for the SCM field in Canada,” said Ginny
Dybenko, said Laurier’s dean of business and economics.
