Week 9 Prompted Post

Hi all!

This news article that I found is about a college in Canada that is bringing back its supply chain program. Yes, this is from Ontario, but yes, it does tell about the importance of SC as a field. It is very important to this particular to school to teach this because the school knows that the field is growing and is extremely essential to Canada's economy. This college works hard to prepare their students for the hands-on world of SCM. They work to develop a work alliance that is strong and ready to be put to work.

The program stresses the importance of working in real-world situations, like those of a supply chain professional. Without SCM workers to manage the large companies' shipments, the companies would be nothing. The article says that about 767,000 workers are involved in the supply chain sector of the Canadian economy (Peters).  The supply chain workers make a huge difference in the production and smoothness of some of the largest distribution centers: Walmart, Target, Cornwall Warehousing, etc.

It is so important to have these professionals prepared and ready to go to work in order to ensure a functioning distribution process. SCM is growing, important, and necessary for success for the economy.
