Our team comprises about 40 individuals: tenure-stream professors, fixed-term instructors, academic specialists, staff and doctoral students, each with a passion to push the frontier of supply chain management research and educate the highest quality students that would make a difference in practice. The collective outcome is that the department is very well recognized for its expertise in empirically oriented research and our undergraduate and graduate programs have been ranked as No. 1 in SCM education.I joined MSU in July 2019 as chairperson of the department and an endowed chair professor. Before that, I worked at McGill’s Desautels Faculty of Management for 24 years. My specialty is the development and application of management science techniques to help with complex decisions in the public sector. Health care, sustainable operations, transportation risk and supply chain design are areas where I have devoted most of my research and teaching efforts. The SCM Department offers three levels of degree programs: a bachelor’s in supply chain management, a master’s in supply chain management and two distinct doctoral programs, in logistics and in operations and sourcing management. Our faculty also teach in the Full-Time MBA, Executive MBA and any number of SCM-related certificate programs. We focus on teaching our students at every level how to improve supply chain operations, take the cost out of the supply chain, reduce supply chain failures and mitigate supply chain risk. While our research is at the forefront of supply chain, we aim to make sure that the training we offer prepares our students for working environments challenged by Industry 4.0.

The institute expands on MSU’s #1-ranked supply chain management programs, poised to deliver revolutionary advances in the functional areas of procurement, manufacturing, data analytics, materials management, packaging, logistics and customer service to companies globally.Visit the Axia Institute What Is Supply Chain Management? Supply chains are the institutions and processes that move raw material, works-in-progress and finished products from the fields, mines and oceans to our homes and workplaces to satisfy our daily wants and needs. Without supply chains, there would not be the products that society relies on, such as food, clothing, shelter and entertainment. The institutions or organizations involved in supply chain operations include material suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and service providers such as transportation firms.Supply chain professionals source raw materials, manufacture B2B and consumer goods, manage inventory, run sophisticated warehouse operations, transport goods between businesses or to the final consumer and keep the world greener by developing better ways to use, return and recycle both manufacturing and consumer waste.For example, one would expect the local grocery store to be stocked with all the products available from anywhere in the world. This includes cereal from Battle Creek, wine from France and sushi from Asia. While one may think that any grocery store maintains a large amount of product, it is only about a three- to four-day supply for many items, particularly those that are perishable. Grocers rely on just-in-time supply chains to make sure that shelves remain stocked with the products that consumers want.With that background, one might be asking “What do supply chains do for me?” As suggested, effective and efficient supply chains provide three types of value to the average consumer. First, they facilitate the sourcing and delivery of products manufactured in many places around the world to a location where the consumer can purchase it. Second, efficient supply chains reduce the cost of the products that one purchases through lowered sourcing, manufacturing, handling and transportation cost. Third, high-performing supply chains can reduce risks related to weather, congestion and natural disasters.Supply chain management is strategic in orientation and recognizes that the competitive strength of a firm is not only determined by its products but also by the operations and activities that place the products into customers’ hands and provide supporting services. The efficient supply chain controls the flow of information, products, services, funds and knowledge. From the supplier network to market distribution, the supply chain enables efficient manufacturing and capacity planning, develops and enhances the flow of data, supports financial analysis and meets the needs of a global marketplace.
