Why study Supply Chain Operations Management?

Supply chains make or break businesses. Companies beat the competition because they find, track and keep their products moving efficiently. They employ top supply chain managers. How do we know? Our alumni work at General Electric, Toyota, Domtar and other Fortune 500 companies.

As a Supply Chain Operations Management major, you will study the entire supply chain and its components. You'll learn how to:

  • Organize resources: labour, material, money and time
  • Model supply chains using forecasting and production planning
  • Effectively manage scheduling, inventory, logistics and technology
  • Make smart decisions, assess risks, manage projects and do trade-off analyses

You learn by seeing current and leading-edge supply chain practices in action. You examine case studies, play simulation games, go on field trips and listen to guest speakers from industry and business.

The knowledge you gain through the Supply Chain Operations Management program will position you to become a valuable asset in the business world.

Program highlights

Program structure

Program options

A Bachelor of Commerce degree takes a minimum of three or four years (90 – 120 credits) of full-time study, depending on your academic background. All John Molson School of Business students follow a core business curriculum coupled with a John Molson School of Business major, which may be combined with a minor in another discipline or any combination of elective courses that interest them.  

A Minor in Supply Chain Operations Management (12 credits) is only available to John Molson School of Business students already in the program. A minor will fulfil the 12 elective credits in your BComm and complement your major field of study.
