Why minor in operations and supply chain management?
The difference between success and failure in business often comes down to the supply
chain: When a company can't efficiently deliver its products and services, it is at
a disadvantage against one that can.

handle the complex challenge of organizing people, technology and materials as efficiently
and cost-effectively as possible. At the same time, you'll learn to balance relationships
between your organization and suppliers, distributors, customers, intermediaries,
and service providers.
Topics you'll study include:
Logistics in the supply chain
Operations management
Analysis of data for effective decision making
