Supply chains are made up of all the companies that participate in the design, assembly, and delivery of a particular product. Supply chain management goes well beyond what is generally considered “logistics” and is the reason that a producer can provide customers what they want, when and where they want it, at the price they need.
To get a first-hand perspective on the SCMT program, explore our new article, Unlocking the Secrets of Supply Chain Management: Insights from Dr. Seth Powless, in which we interview UC’s Assistant Professor and Supply Chain Program Coordinator, Dr. Seth Powless.

In the context of today’s global economy, there is an ever-increasing demand for greater innovation, increasing efficiency, and cost reduction, all in an effort to generate recurring value. There is also an imbalance in the supply chain workforce largely due to a shortage in skilled labor, and an increasing number of retirees. Some estimates suggest the global demand for supply chain professionals exceeds supply by 6-to-1.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment in the supply chain management industry is projected to grow nearly 20% by 2033 (much faster than average), and the median salary for a Supply Chain Manager (or Logistician) in 2024 was $80,880.
