“World Class Organizations have World Class Supply Chains”

We live in an increasingly networked world. The value your customers and stakeholders receive is created and delivered by a complex network incorporating your suppliers, partners, collaborators, distributors and even your competitors. If you want to maximize your strategic advantage, you HAVE to be able to develop and manage the capabilities originating from across value networks. At SCMI, our mission is to develop leaders in supply chain, which we achieve through a comprehensive portfolio of educational, training and research programs.

• We have an international faculty network devoted to excellence in research and education in supply chain management which enables us to offer a full range of undergraduate, MBA and specialized Master of Science programs in supply chain management.

• We are providers of executive education in leadership, process improvement, project management, sourcing strategy and supply chain management.

• We are leading exponents of innovation in management development, exploiting the very best technology solutions for e-learning and retaining a desire for invigorating and lively classroom teaching, enabling us to deliver a high quality, truly personalized education.

• We are a leading nexus for global research in supply chain and operations improvement.

• Above all, we are dedicated to building the Institute’s wide practitioner, academic, alumni and student networks into a vibrant and exciting community of leading-edge practice.
