Supply Chain Management Certificate SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATE Supply chain management is an essential part of the daily lives of everyone across the globe. It includes planning, executing, and monitoring the movement of goods through a distribution channel, ensuring value creation for the end customer. The importance of a fully functional supply chain was on full display during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the virus and fear spread worldwide, supermarket shelves of toilet paper and hand sanitizers were only the visible impacts customers saw. Behind the scenes were production stoppages, shortages of raw materials, and many other factors that made up the reality of the virus's impact on a fragile supply chain. Careers in supply chain management are not only exciting and lucrative but also offer endless opportunities to succeed. According to the US Bureau of Labor, the median starting salary for Supply Chain Specialists/Logisticians is $75,000 a year, with significant increases in salaries projected throughout one's career. UW-Platteville's Supply Chain Management certificate program can open doors in this high-demand industry. COURSE DESCRIPTIONS * Course 1: Inventory Planning and Control, Materials Management and Production Planning Systems Course 1 will serve as an introduction to the world of material management. It will provide an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals surrounding the operational activity called material management and will focus primarily on the fundamentals of material management as a functional activity. Without a solid understanding of material management basics, appreciating the important role it can play is difficult. * Course 2: Capacity Management, Production Activity Control, Demand Forecasting, and Inventory Fundamentals Course 2 addresses what firms do to plan, determine the capacity needed to execute their Material Requirements Plans, and manage their inventory. Additionally, we will explore how firms use demand forecasting to predict inventory levels needed to meet customer demand. Finally, we will discuss how firms can reduce the costs associated with holding inventory. * Course 3: Physical Inventory, Lean Processes, Physical Distribution, Products and Processes and Quality Management In Course 3, the discussion will revolve around the importance of inventory integrity where the physical matches the systemic inventory. Process development and the elimination of waste within the process will also be examined using Lean Six Sigma. In addition, the product life cycle of inventory and the different stages that a product moves through during its life will be examined. Furthermore, we will discuss warehouse management and explore the transportation/shipping methods used in industry to support a global platform. Finally, Total Quality Management (TQM) methodology will be examined.
