Supply Chain Management Institute

Welcome from Professor Simon Croom, PhD.

USD has been delivering world class supply chain education and development programs for nearly 30 years and the Supply Chain Management Institute has a rightly deserved reputation for supporting the development of exceptional professionals who are sought after by industry and the public sector alike. Our MS-SCM is one of the leading programs in the world, possessing both ISM approval and CIPS accreditation. Our MBA emphasis in supply chain management equips students with the skills and capabilities to be highly effective decisions makers and our BBA minor in supply chain has grown in popularity because it delivers a highly relevant education and business exposure for students embarking upon their professional life.

In our academic activities, we are committed to the development of knowledge and strategies for enhancing integrated supply, operations, logistics, and strategic account management through three avenues of research, professional engagement and education. As much as anything, SCMI exercises leadership through its active, collaborative engagement with leading experts and academicians across the world.

• World-Class Education targeted at all levels: undergraduate, graduate, and executive. All of our education is focused on helping industry realize the benefits attainable through world-class supply chain management.
  
  
• Collaborative Relationships with business partners through applied research, which simultaneously provides mechanisms to expose faculty and students to current issues through industry-based projects.
