The three-year Business Administration - Supply Chain and Operations Management program prepares students for successful careers in the growing, dynamic, and underserviced-field of supply chain management. In Canada's supply chain sector there is a greater demand for skilled graduates than there are graduates available. Our program has a long-standing reputation for providing students with the skills and knowledge required to play key roles in this rewarding and varied field where they can make decisions that have a global impact. A supply chain describes the flow of goods, services and information from suppliers to the final customer. In today's business environment, companies no longer compete against companies; supply chains compete against supply chains. In the program, students develop the necessary knowledge and skills to manage and coordinate the supply chain activities required to produce and deliver all the goods and services we use every day. The central theme of this program is continuous improvement, a key element in being competitive in a global market. Graduates of the program will receive a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certificate, endorsed by High Performance Solutions Inc. This program is also fully accredited by the Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council (CSCSC). This program also takes a hands-on, project-oriented approach and provides opportunities to work with current business and industry partners. Instructors are experts in their disciplines, often using an interactive approach to enrich the learning environment. This approach benefits our graduates finding employment in public and private sector organizations in areas such as purchasing, logistics, project management, distribution, planning, scheduling, system implementation and many more.

Graduates are eligible for acceptance into the Certified Supply Chain Management Professional (CSCMP) Designation graduate program, administered by the Supply Chain Management Association Ontario (SCMAO). The Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council recently released their 2012 HR Study Update identifying future personnel needs within the sector. Highlights are as follows: The Canadian supply chain industry employs in excess of 767,200 workers. Future employment opportunities are favourable given a currently high vacancy rate and the prospect of a large proportion of the workforce approaching retirement age. To keep pace with anticipated growth and to replace retiring workers, the sector anticipates the need to hire almost 66,000 individuals annually.
